How convenient for YOU and your re-hashed 1800s economics that LTV was swept under the rug- by people that don’t give a crap about workers. Every company at which I have worked always push for the “added value” production processes. In molding or stamping- the cheapest part is one just molded and shipped, or stamped and shipped. The more complex the part with added components and assembly, the more value the part has. Thus the more value a worker ADDs to the part to accomplish this (i.e. the more productive) they should see a gain in their income (wages) for this added work- but again ( you continue to ignore it) the workers are NOT seeing the gain from added productivity. Since 1980, productivity and wages diverged drastically with wages essentially flat the last 40 years! (Link provided),

LTV doesn’t have to be the PRIMARY aspect of analysis but it should be included. Dismissing it out of hand is again an easy convenient way to argue for economic policies and systems which benefit the wealthy and well connected. Every policy you seem to adhere to and propagate has done nothing but harm the working people and middle class.

In any event, when someone’s argument devolves to condescension and snide asides (as yours did in the last half) it is proof you’ve run out of actual factual argument and resorted to ad-hominems and other such fallacies.
