>Lack of people to work should be the norm. Getting enough humans to work should be the bottleneck of the system to force treating them well and optimize everything around them. The reason there's a surplus is egalitarianism. Most of the developed world realized we didn't economically tap much of society because of whatever *ism. Fixing that produced a huge benefit. But it also ended up with 2 key problems. Huge surplus of low-skilled labour AND a problematic population pyramid. >The globalization and demographic trends that has undercut the value of labor in the west for decades are now reversing. Expect inflation, financial system struggles (collapse?), higher taxes but also wage increases and the working class getting larger chunk of the pie. The problem after that im sure they'll call the 'great unretirement' where people who retired ran out of money but lots of those people wont want to work. Nobody will hire them. They will turn to crime.
