Why Things are Shit Since Financial Crisis of 2008

 

This breakneck productivity problems exists precisely because we have overpopulation problem.

We have more people than there are jobs. So employers own the game. If you do not like their shitty conditions then there are thousands of others who are ok with that.

People driven by something like sense of duty or desire to contribute to community will probably work even if business pay them nothing. 

So from a business perspective anyone who wants a pay is not competitive and not fit for a job.

Without pay anyone sane has not reason to work.

More on how it came to be this way:

Since 1980s when factories started to become automated. Before automation they employed thousands of people each.

Even events like Youngtown in the US, Thatcher firing miners and miners protests in the UK, even collapse of the USSR. All happened because of that new fundamental change to the world order.

After automation all these former factory workers are pushed into a ever shrinking job market to compete for remaining jobs.

Automation destroys more and more jobs. So surplus of people gets bigger and bigger. Employers take advantage of the situation and government does nothing to rule in it.

The only two real solutions is either Universal Basic Income or a gigantic massacre that will wipe out the surplus of population.

However businesses do not want UBI since it will eliminate their advantage. Governments are wary there are still jobs that cannot be automated 

I would prefer UBI now, however let there be suicides and a giant massacre if there is no UBI.

If we do nothing, the misery will only keep increasing.

Boomers owe their, unconcerned with material needs, happy go lucky (all you need is love) youth to Adolf Hitler and WWII.

Unfortunately there was no one amount them who could achieve a similar prosperity for us Millennials. COVID killed measly 6.5 millions so far. WWII casualties were 75-80 millions. I think we need at least 200 million this time, pick up the pace COVID

All boomers do is desperately cling to their useless lives and waste our limited financial resources on various medical treatments to give themselves another 5 or so useless pathetic years of 'living'. At least my parents of 1954 are like that.

Kudos to those who are not like that. Who never spent big money on medical treatment to prolong their lives another 5 years.
