    The last person I want teaching or caring for my old body is someone being forced to do so. Rather, we should increase the incentive for people to train in those areas by increasing their wages.

      My idea is more an incentive to get the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes so we can find initiatives like you suggest.

  Still it's reasonable to expect the transition to a post scarcity society within the next two generations, at least not globally in the first phase but the growth boom will cause a new wave of hyperexpansionism to secure the growing lands and resource depots. Jobs as care worker won't be enough and not everyone is good/motivated in them and I don't think you don't realize how bad it is for the cared to have a spiteful worker There's a huge issue looming as the current mainstream libertarian model is ill suited for a post scarcity society plus there's gonna be a huge problem with migrations ready to compound with internal strifes. Nothing impossible to solve with preparation but seems we gonna reach that point fastly and badly.
