A random thought.

The reason why we have a lot of the problems we do now is because we have a lot of systems that used to work but are not working in the same way because of shifts in work culture and technology. When we had jobs before, we have jobs that are very labor independent and always have to have a poor working class in order to do them. I mean, let's be real, no high level professional is going to work physically hard labor. And you might ask, "what about younger adults" but with the rise of technology, people find new ways of getting paid like designing things and selling them. I mean why work physical labor when you can do uber, doordash and other services? Why work physical labor when you can learn to trade, design apps, ecommerce, designing avatars etc.

At the same time, a lot of our society is solely dependent upon the working class. If you really take into account that most of the things us working class people do are really keeping businesses alive by doing their dirty work AND now you have the rise of technology, advancements etc. where people aren't going to want to do the dirty work any longer and for good reason.

Well that's kind of a recipe for disaster.

I think I'm starting to get why capitalism may not make sense going into the future where its contradictions aren't going to benefit any of us in the long run. I'm not claiming that I know of a better system, I don't believe I have Dunning Kruger but I have been thinking of all the ways that we literally can't move forward unless we make big changes because I do realize that on some level, what we're doing isn't working anymore.
