We've yet to run out of jobs, and life is measurably better for the vast majority of people compared to just a hundred years ago.
There is actually a shortage of labour in major economies
In terms of medically and technologically? Sure. I'd hands down rather be an average person today than in 1860 or whatever.
In terms of say, home ownership, age of retirement, weight, social life, financial security, time off, etc - things that actually make our now longer lives fufilling - how have those trended in the western world since say, the 40's?
If I took just one average job of these so many "available", could I support kids and have financial security in decent housing?

High paying jobs go to highly skilled workers. If you want to earn more, learn more.
If you live in Germany, I'd say yes. Their home ownership levels are one of the lowest yet they are the richest in Europe and there are plenty of technical jobs that pay extremely well.
We are at a tipping point again where companies have had too much benefit from the productivity of labour. That balance will shift with more employees taking direct action, the same as it always does.
Hope you like your life. If everyone goes and gets a "high" paying job. No nurses doctors psychology counselling teachers fruit pickers cleaners garbage collectors civil servants police ambulance.
Your ignorance if woeful. We don't need 8 billion devs, bankers degenerate gamblers CEOs coders and aresholes. We need face to face people doing jobs only humans can do.
Stick your rich list up your ass
Their wages haven't beaten inflation, now they're on strike.
I suggest you read up on the energy shock of the 1970s, it's very similar.
No need to be rude, cunt.
I know a lil bit about it. But how does that change what I said ? Who's on strike ? Lots of places are striking.
Because inflation and bubbles are starting to break. Hopefully will be a full meltdown soon. Gotta change the system.
Fair enough. You just seem entitled and I hate that. But fair. Gid cunt or bad ?
