At least at the moment. Unless someone invents a brilliant new idea or somehow is able to enable a post scarcity society overnight.

No matter what you do. Your always going to need people at the bottom. Ergo “The Poor”. To put it bluntly. Someone is going to need to fill the role of laborer, Burger Flipper, Retail Worker etc.

There’s certainly a conversation that can be had about improving their lot. I was in the proverbial trenches of Retail. Lord knows quite a few large companies abuse the shit out of their low wage staff. Especially the ones who have precious few options and opportunities to advance past that kind of employment. I should know. I worked for a few of those companies. I however was “Just passing through” as it were and it wasn’t a career.

Met plenty of fine people who frankly for one reason or another got trapped in the mire. Ex-Cons who struggle to find jobs elsewhere, People who made a variety of Stupid mistakes as Teens, unplanned pregnancies/families, physical or mental disabilities, Elderly folks who due to unexpected costs or medical problems required them to leave retirement for insurance coverage etc.

As to the abuses. Power tripping and abusive managers who aren’t removed despite reports, deliberate cuts to benefits packages despite record setting quarters(The amount of times I’ve seen Elderly people cry after finding out the insurance covering their prescriptions was part of company cuts is disheartening) , unreasonable and inflexible schedules making it difficult for employees to seek out education and training for alternative jobs, completely unrealistic quotas and expectations. The List goes on.

Socialism however hasn’t proved to be a functional answer anytime it’s been tried before. And it’d be the height of insanity to try it given its record of failure.
