To what end? Can't you just quit and get the same result?

Of course, on the other hand does it make sense to keep an obsolete field artificially alive because "jobs"? There are many new oportunities opening for us. One will be increasing demand for cybersecurity auditors, someone will need to wire those servers and someone else will need to expand the AI into more fields.

We humans don't like change much, but that doesn't mean we should pump money to blockbuster.

Quitting is an individual action with potential adverse consequences (misery).

The political question is why despite productivity in economic terms (which i know is flawed) growing many times over, do we still have to work as much, get paid so little, and have so many unemployed people looking for a job?

Looks like without a parasitic capitalist class, we could share resources and work and have people live better lives and work less.
