    The demand for human labour is consciously manipulated to create artificial scarcity and then gluts on purpose, to guide human growth, a recent a egregious example of this is excessive hiring followed by excessive firing by big tech, is clearly intentional and integral to the labour supply side of their blitzscaling machine.

    Create excessive demand by overhiring, drawing masses to overwrite their souls with the machinery required by industry, once saturation was achieved, they massively purged, leaving the manipulated humans with useless information indelibly etched into their brain. I cannot overstate how evil this is and how irresponsible communities are for just letting that happen to their members.

    Of course the paralytic stunning of the duty of care of those communities is a major feature of global neoliberalism.

    There will not be a reduction in demand for labour, in fact I believe we will see demand far beyond that which came after the Black Plague. But the elites are positionning themselves to “win in a seller’s market” with their incessant manipulation.

    While I agree somewhat with the limits to growth narrative, it has largely been recuperated by the club of rome / population bomb narrative to turn the limits to growth from a rational anti-capitalist narrative into weapons of the elite against the people for maximal exploitation in the very name of capitalism and it’s fake lures “innovation” and “efficiency” something it can never delivery, by definition, by being a greedy parasite on both and having massively slowed technological progress that could have delivered both, either by patent (3d printer delayed 20 years) or bombs (killing cybersyn so Walmart could make it instead).

    A reduction of demand for human labour should have been a boon and desirable, all jobs should be abolished and made obsolete, “work” is an heinous and exploitative imposition on others for profit extraction, life extraction of the human cattle. Work IS the tool of the enemy.

    Wages should not have been allowed to be boxed in by convoluted supply and demand models of fabulating economists, we live in a world much richer than excel spreadsheets than will never fit inside the skull mush of some economist no matter how much they want us to believe we must sacrifice our lives to the profit of their masters.

    The problem is distribution, it has been the entire time, capitalists have been distributing all the wealth into their pockets and buying dominating power of the state with it.

    The state has been infected by the capital parasites and it’s time to amputate
