Seriously!
Do you people understand that our ancestors already fought for, and won, better treatment, wages, and working conditions? That was back in the 1930's. Then later generations got complacent, and it was slowly taken away. The two biggest hits to what they fought for was the Reagan era labor policies, and lack of action to save the steel industry, then the precedence that NAFTA set telling US employers it's okay to send our jobs to labor markets with lower wages and less rights, that our wages and rights can't compete with.

So what makes you people think it would be any different?
Humans commonly repeat history sadly. So why do you think that keeping the current broken system in place, while getting better wages etc, would fix anything? What makes you think that the elite won't come in and erase everything you've fought for when future generations become complacent like they have already? Why do you think this time will be different and they won't do everything in their power to take away those wages and rights in the future?
Why is so hard for people to understand that even a modified version of corporate welfare is still a system fucking everyone and the human species as a whole. Yes corporate welfare, we don't have capitalism anymore. Not that capitalism works either, capitalism is what became corporate welfare, so that's not good either. Money is a completely made up construct that only has value because the hive mind of the population gives it value. Realistically a valueless piece of paper is just that, a valueless piece of paper. Any system that requires people to chase a valueless piece of paper instead of following what you're passionate about is an injustice to humanity and our species as a whole. I guarantee that we've missed out on great inventions and progress because the people that would have created them, were too busy chasing a valueless piece of paper that they're told they need to survive, instead of following what truly calls them in life.
For our species to progress further, we need to stop forcing people to chase valueless pieces of paper. We're coming to the age where if automation is implemented correctly, no one would need to work other than people that are working on what they're truly passionate about. We're not far away from having not only machines to do most jobs, but machines that will even fix the broken machines eventually. People would still work on progressing automation, because some people would truly be passionate about it and want to even without a monetary gain. There's no reason for things like homelessness and hungriness to even exist anymore other than greed. We know we can turn deserts into green land again, but it's more profitable having the problems than to fix them. We could, and some places in China and Africa, already are turning their deserts green again which not only allows people to farm the land for food again, but also creates rainfall as well, and sequesters carbon naturally.
My point, you're all thinking way too small, and fighting fights that have already been proven to fail in the long term. Open your mind, enlightenment doesn't happen overnight in most cases. There's no part of capitalism, corporate welfare, or democracy that's worth saving. They're all broken and corrupt. Think bigger, think outside the box, think a world where you can do what makes you happy, not what makes you the most valueless pieces of paper. It is possible, should we choose to build it. Automation is going to come faster than most realize. Compare where we are today to 50 years ago, do we really want corporate welfare implementing automation? Or do we want a system and leaders that are focused on bettering humanity as a whole implementing automation?
