Lots of Americans work as plumbers dealing with literal poop every day. They will even come in the middle of the night to deal with your poop emergency.
The issue is getting paid enough, not the nature of the job.

#23Will there be low wages with huge bonuses for the CEOs while the workers have to struggle to pay rent? Young people know the future is not bright, and I encourage them to enjoy their lives while they still can.

Gee, Weird how a little realism is somehow making a downward mobility.
The fact is that a good deal of workers are struggling to get by while the folks at the top get bonuses equal to more than a few weeks pay. Being realistic, even when hidden under a layer of sarcasm, is preferable lest things not change.

This world view seems like a potential death spiral. As world views become bleak, is encouraging people to say "fuck it" and maximize for enjoyment really the best move? Whatever happened to working hard to build a future for oneself? Yes, I understand there are higher powers that be and people with much more powers than you and I that are ruining the future but is the answer really to lay down and be engulfed in the…
Forget the metaverse, try LSD and psilocybin. I think the only reason Zuck is pushing this VR nonsense is that he took too much and now he thinks he can put ads in your VR trip.

Ah yes, the old "it's the poors' fault they're poor because they don't want to work hard for poverty wages".

#27My nanny’s sister just started working at a semiconductor plant. Unfortunately she’s talking my nanny into joining. So, yes, if they pay enough.
Heh. Sorry for your nanny loss, but that's awesome.

#28I think it will come down to money. People work with hot tar in the blazing sun for money, and toil in Amazon warehouses for money. Make it worth people's while and yeah, they'll work in semiconducting manufacturing.
Yes. The same applies to infosec, COBOL, and other niches where jerbs allegedly can't be filled: pay more money to attract better and more people.
Software jobs don't have manufacturing overhead. You can't compare them to other technical fields.

Those are all real issues. That's why I used the term "exacerbate".
Those who do the bare minimum to get by in life are only hurting themselves in the long run.
This remains true despite a gloomy macroeconomic outlook.
