Jobs are not the sole way to distribute resources. In fact they are a rather recent way (in human history) to do so.

And they're going away anyway soon enough, as automation develops.

Great, a gigantic underclass of people forever stuck with no upward mobility!

Yes, what will we do without the famous upward mobility of the factory worker?

Seriously though, the majority of humans never see material upward mobility in their lifetimes, and a world without mandatory low-wage jobs per se isn't necessarily a world without upward mobility.

A world without mobility is one without agency...and humanity has been defined by agency. Without it, we might as well not exist, not as humans anyway.

I agree, I’m just saying that upward mobility will continue to exist but it may just look different.
