Do we have 10 times the schools, 10 times the hospitals? Do our paychecks go 10 times as far, do we have 10 times the free time? No. In fact, We have less. Fewer schools, fewer hospitals. Our paychecks run out earlier in the month, and we have less time because everybody's working harder. There is no coincidence that in the time that has happened, we have seen the existence of people like Elon Musk occur. (07:51–07:58)
