    Many people would stop working because so many jobs are awful and not worth doing unless you need the to survive. The job market would have to undergo radical shifts due workers no longer being desperate and actually having power. Awful jobs would have to become decent or pay more to make it worth it.

    Many jobs would just go away. Some would never come back. They were probably not useful anyway.

    Some people would never rejoin the workforce. Much of that is good, like elderly people who should have retired long ago but don’t have savings. Some for worse… but it’s hard to say it would be any worse than what we have now.

      But how can Billy the manager feel fullfilled if he can’t boss around people and doing presentations of next quarters forecasts?

      It’s so bullshit right now, I bet in the future people won’t understand why we didn’t have better lives with all the wealth we produce.
