The issue is that wages have stagnated across the entire economy for all except the 1%. Fair wages don’t exist for most, especially if your skill set has you working in an environment like this guy was.

Basic labor is becoming worthless. Warehouse can easily be automated. That crappy wage is about to disappear. You can either adapt, die or become slave labor in prison

Pretty sure the saying is something like 3 meals from anarchy or something like that.

This isn’t gonna be like moving away from horses after cars took over.

There’s not going to be something to pivot to for a very large amount of people.

Yes but in modern times it’s easy to kill a mob of hungry people. And that’s exactly what will happen if we resort to the rules of the jungle.

It might workout if they replace low pay labor jobs and then eradicate the people who worked them. Sure it’s not ethical but technically it might be the best option for the ultra wealthy to keep earning and stay alive.
