The irony is that this causes birth rates to plummet, which eliminates the future workforce for the very companies forcing childcare to be untenable. One of the major contradictions of capitalism is that it does not reproduce its own labor force. I guess the resolution is to replace human workers with AI.
On global level population is still growing. With globalization, companies couldnt care less if a worker is from US or Africa. ChatGPT’s training was supervised by kenia workers for laughable wages.
For sure, but the growth rate is rapidly decreasing in the developing world too. If that continues eventually there will be nobody left to run the machines.
This is something that drives me so mad, and it’s exactly why corporations need to be strictly regulated on a global scale.
If people are granted any voluntary dignity, someone out there is always willing to “undercut” their fellow workers to get an “edge” on the market or whatever and prove what a sweaty exploitable tryhard they can be, then it races to the bottom for all.
If a company wants to pay its workers a living wage, their competition will undercut them by stepping on their employees’ necks for an “advantage in the market.”
You’re right, it’s simply not a system that solves for human well-being, it solves solely for hoarding and growing large numbers of imaginary value.

Society’s hyper-competitiveness to “get an edge” is ultimately self-cannibalizing.

no we just need to import workers from outside the environment.
