“Great resignation” wave coming for companies

Sure, you can employ everyone and they’ll still be useful. Trash on the streets? That’s a job. Pothole in the road, that’s another job.

I just commented that the basic necessities of life (food, water, electricity, etc…) can be covered with very few people.

Who supplies the wires? The copper to the wire maker? The plastic for insulation? Transporting it? Building the road/tracks? Etc etc.

Of course there are bullshit jobs out there, but I think we are under estimating

I don't think we are underestimating.

When you hit scale like that with specialization, it's conceivable a relatively small amount of jobs can provide a society with the base necessities.
