Thank you.
I'm going to take some of my own advice, which I've often given to people. That's to get out of the echo chambers and ask questions of people with different perspectives.
Mr. Stanford, I'm going to put this question to you. I realize you're far smarter than I am, but I think we may even have a little bit of an agreement here. I can perhaps accept your conclusion that increasing productivity doesn't necessarily increase wages because sometimes those funds could go the other way or labour conditions could lead to those monies going to places other than labour.
My question, though, is this: Is an increase in productivity not a necessary condition for increasing wages—not sufficient but necessary—such that if we don't have increasing productivity we can't have wages increasing?
