People who feed you are doing grunt work? People who take your garbage away too? You gave just dismissed two groups of people whose jobs are vital to your wellbeing.
The problem with your thinking is it’s actually not thinking at all.
Office jobs are the easiest jobs I've ever had. The more I make, the less work I actually have to do.
Weird how the heirarchy works.
Yes. People who do jobs that take minimal training and who could be replaced in a week are doing grunt work. That's the difference between skilled and unskilled. Do you need to go through years of training to do your job? Congratulations, you're not as replaceable as the guy who was trained in 2 days by a high school dropout.
Cool. So if everyone Learns To Code because that's the only way to deserve an actual living, who does the essential but unskilled jobs then? Oh I get it, you're advocating for labour immigration. Cool.
Supply and demand. The supply reduced so wages went up but only as much as demand required. If you want more money be more valuable.
So you want labour shortages (and/or strikes because that's the other way to effect a supply shortage) for a while to hurt the economy before The Market finds a way to pay the people it wants to consume their way to infinite growth
What a weirdly planned economy
Well, we could skip the labor shortage until wages increase by increasing wages right away.
We simply don't have a perfect market, which would be required for supply and demand to regulate without hiccups.
Except "nobody wants to work anymore" i.e. you can't actually replace them that easily.
It's shrodingers labor! All arguments exist until you need one and then the argument becomes what you need most in that moment!
