> Most want large apartments, entertainment, restaurants, travel, hotels, social media sites to discuss articles about 'workism' etc etc. And somebody has to build and run all those things so they can enjoy them.
One solid income used to buy an entire house. Why can't I want to work less and still have a large apartment? And that's without even considering productivity gains.
People can budget for entertainment without long work weeks.
I don't demand much in terms of restaurants and travel and hotels, shrug.
Websites are not expensive to run, and the cost of social media if directly paid for would be single digit dollars a month. Negligible in terms of someone's entire budget.
