  Or maybe we could actually fix society so that management is organized by the workers themselves, in order to fill an actual need of the community? Instead of having work organized by a managerial class which is completely disconnected from their expertise (and actually has no expertise of their own apart from making people's lives miserable), and many companies competing on a market which was usually not based on established needs/desires from the people but rather seeks to manufacture consent/desire. We're trapped in the worst possible timeline where we have an abundance of resources and work that's so much abused by privileged elites that many people suffer from bad access to food & housing (despite an over-abundance, at least in the global north), others from lack of meaning to their work/life (see also bullshit jobs), while others suffer from the pollution created by IoT and entire families of throwaway products that populate all supermarkets and e-commerce sites. He's far from the most radical thinker i can think of in this regard, but i think David Graeber's (RIP) CCC talk on Managerial feudalism and the revolt of the caring classes is spot on in many regards.
