It's ridiculous how much policy is based on outdated boomer principles like "everyone should work and work good jobs if they want to survive!" In times of scarcity, both in terms of resources and skilled workers, that makes complete sense. In times of excess wealth and skilled workers, it doesn't.
Your options are either to continue with 20th century economic policies, which are bound to continue to contribute to instability and disruption, or find a post-scarcity economic reformation that makes sense.
