What’s been eroded, and in some cases almost eliminated, are the socialist frameworks - the unions, social support programs, and government regulations - that have made sure that at least some of that wealth was distributed back to those who actually created said wealth… the working class.
Now it all flows to the Parasite Class, who do almost nothing to earn it, but who vampiristically feed off of the working class for ever more of it.
Young people aren’t struggling because they don’t know what hard work is. They’re struggling because almost all of what has allowed prior generations to economically succeed is no longer available to them.

> Yale researchers say that despite the anxiety about AI taking people's jobs, there's very little evidence of it actually happening. Economists with Yale's Budget Lab, a non-partisan policy research group, took a look at how US employment has changed since the November 2022 debut of ChatGPT and the sequent release of other generative AI models. They saw nothing to be alarmed about. "Overall, our metrics indicate that the broader labor market has not experienced a discernible disruption since ChatGPT’s release 33 months ago, undercutting fears that AI automation is currently eroding the demand for cognitive labor across the economy," said Martha Gimbel, Molly Kinder, Joshua Kendall, and Maddie Lee in a report summary.

> While AI systems have saturated many existing benchmarks, we find that state-of-the-art AI agents perform near the floor on RLI. The best-performing model achieves an automation rate of only 2.5%. This demonstrates that contemporary AI systems fail to complete the vast majority of projects at a quality level that would be accepted as commissioned work.
