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.
