It’s a prop to promote whoever-she-is’s tik-tok channel. If you haven’t been looking out for yourself and constantly overwork yourself… no shit you shouldn’t be doing that. Anyone who’s worked is attempting to optimize less work for more pay. My distaste is for the article, btw. To address your question, it’s just rebranding like you suggested. Why come up with something new when you have the next generation’s social media app and all the ideas that worked on your generation to fuel the channel?
There is also another side to this: a lot of these “tech companies” are not really built to provide meaningful products and services, instead their aim is for speculative valuation in the stock market.
There is also the use of tech in bussiness that is inherently unproductive economically. Like all the shops on Amazon, they are mostly selling the very same thing out of Amazon’s warehouse bins. These “online business entrepreneurs” aren’t actually adding anything new to the market.
Then there is also tech companies “cannibalising” on existing markets. For every tech companies rapidly rising, there are tens to hundreds of brick and mortar businesses going under. Added together the total sum of resultant economic growth will of course be very much smaller than expected.
Productivity is just measured differently. Every major company has a hand full of process engineers and PPI teams whos only task is to speed up processes and save the company money. The money saved is thrown into a bucket called productivity but its expected YoY for the various different groups. If they stop to use whatever changes its not measured negatively which is confusing.
Honestly he was caught red handed. I really think he’s screwed with the classified docs case. His own AG, Bill Barr as well as his former attorney, Ty Cobb, said as much. Also he is having a really hard time finding competent counsel to represent him. Part of that is since his attorney must have security clearance but it’s also likely because any half decent attorney sees how screwed he is on this case.
