You don't have to look a hundred years into the future to see that this is a bad post. A few decades or a decade or even right now and you can see that education isn't a guarantee of a good career, that more people are working harder for less value and especially less security, and that humans are becoming commodities that move around to wherever employers need them. In a world with more and more material abundance it should easier for people meet their needs, have security and stay in their communities, not harder. The road your talking about isn't the road to utopia, it's the other direction.
It sucks to see that you and your wife have had it so hard and that you had to leave your families and communities behind in order to get by. I hope you at least have your student debt paid off.

200 hours a year less than in the good old days, which is equivalent to taking the last 5 or so weeks of the year off. The anecdotes middle class people tell themselves about how hard they have it are based on not understanding how hard people had it in the past.

The thing is, people actually work less hard than ever before:

And anyway, as RV said, the comment you referred to was about wage stagnation, not hours worked. And the Warren video goes into great detail about how the "stagnant" incomes are really providing a lot less value to people.
