Who gives a sh-t? What are you going to do with all this productivity? Buy a bunch of garbage you'll use 3 times and then it'll end up in the ocean?

Increased productivity is not just useful for consumerism. It might allow us to retire earlier or have shorter work weeks, for example.

Productivity doesn't inherently mean more consumption. It can just as well mean fewer resources for the same or less consumption.

Seriously, it sickens me that with all the crap that's been going on the #1 worry for many people still seems to be productivity...

Yeah, I live alone and I've seen really miserable during this pandemic while my coworkers praise it for their productivity gains. I'm new in the city and the office used to be the place where I could at least get my base of social interaction every day. Without that it's really just tough. And now my coworkers are talking about just closing the office, since they don't 'get anything out of being there'. Well I did get something out of it, it's just sad.
