>> Rarely does a life leave time or energy for child-rearing, a paid job and a fulfilling avocation.
> I could not imagine living a world where this becomes the norm. The norm should be "It's rare for a person to have a shitty job, a mortgage, student debt to pay off and no financial possibility to have children until they are 65".
This is the world you’re living in right now, it just sounds like you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t see it. For every worker who can sit home and code, there are at least hundreds of people doing menial jobs like harvesting crops, packing shipments, drilling for oil, fixing streets, etc. Most would probably describe those as “shitty jobs”, and sadly those jobs barely pay the rent.
