It's true not many people need work, so the lack of open roles isn't critical to the economy. But not everyone is happy at their job.

The wealthy really didn't like seeing labour getting off its knees during the pandemic and they're stomping down hard lest we get a taste for it.

"You'll own nothing and be happy" should have been taken as the threat that it was when the WEF first promoted the notion.

The "be happy" part is the threat, they want us smiling as we suffer.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm all for the REDUCE part of the three R's and am okay with doing with less, what I'm not okay with is a future where literally every aspect of human existence is a rent-seeking service.
