It’s true, the way our capitalist system is set up it’s mainly the workers and less wealthy people in general who get screwed by progress and obsolescence. Wealthy people are very worried about it too of course, since something like phasing out coal could mean bankruptcy for them and they’d have to, oh no, get a job or something. That’s harder to feel sorry for though.
Sure, I agree with that. The idea that once people are making money a certain way it has to continue forever is harmful.
Would be nice if it weren’t lifetime debt inducing to swap career fields, though.
