As someone who is far away from the average HN user and merely works part-time in food service while figuring out what to do with his life, I don't think people like me care that some amount of people are richer or have more wealth than myself. I care that a good life is becoming increasingly expensive and unattainable to people who do not have the blessing of having a fancy tech job or jobs in that tier that require expensive college degrees. As it is, if nothing changes and I can't figure something out, I'll eventually be priced out of living where I am in SoCal because rent keeps increasing and wages keep increasing(it's good but also bad) so it'll only become more difficult to get these kinds of part-time minimum wage jobs that are often the only option for people like myself. What is the alternative to all of this for me and people like me? Go into a backbreaking trade where you trade your health and lifespan for money you won't actually be able to enjoy using? I feel like, as a person in his early twenties, the only path to obtaining a greater life with good work-life balance that doesn't destroy your mind and body is to make it big in tech or other emerging field. Otherwise, I guess I have to force shutdown and hope shit reboots.
