Remote work can also be a source of socioeconomic inequality

I'm afraid of these socialist trends and statements.

Hopefully, there will not be any new "revolution" where 'low-income' will vote for some populist who will make everyone "equal".

And by "everyone" they normally mean middle/upper middle class because ultra-wealthy people operate in a bit different world than the rest of people.

AND:

Can't low earners take those high-earners who work remotely (programmers, for example) as an example and follow their path rather than complain about inequality? I had a mate who was a good example for me at some point which allowed me to progress in life. What would happen if i metaphorically i asked the government to get part of his salary to help me to be "equal"? Is this discovered life path not a valuable resource and example?

The West will go full communism, and it will make life better for all of us - no more rent, work or paying for groceries and everything will be taken care of so we can be creative in our time

Can you please not create accounts to break the HN guidelines with? It eventually gets your main account banned as well.

If you think that the groceries are going to continue to show up on shelves in a world where nobody has to work, reality is going to hand you a very nasty surprise. If we're going to give stuff to everybody, somebody has to make the stuff. Merely redistributing money isn't going to solve that problem.

i thought it was sarcasm, but apparently, based on downvotes, HN is full of left-leaning comrades.

It could have been sarcasm. In fact, I hope it was. And it wouldn't be the first sarcasm that I've missed today...

Yes the incredibly libertarian leaning, created by a VC, site is full of leftists.

well.. wealth owners probably would lobby that not to happen, but surprisingly to me that is happening already contrary to any common sense.

They will be made to sign it eventually by the people. Then we can all be a whole world as a country, one vision and full equality of resources and thoughts, and it will be beautiful
