    We would if there were just equivalent, just as well paying jobs elsewhere. However until we topple the system that makes us work to make the rich richer just to survive we have no choice.

      Refusing to act until the system is toppled is the same as refusing to act. Just you can pretend you’re not complicit.

      There’s no point waiting until capitalism is destroyed in the Great Socialist Rapture. We should be trying to improve society under capitalism right now.

      In this case, advocate for skills retraining and UBI.

        Skills retraining is great if, like I said, there’s OPEN and comparable jobs to move them to that aren’t displacing other workers in the process. Unfortunately it’s not usually that easy

          We have pretty low unemployment right now and aside from covid it’s been like this for a while. There are plenty of jobs out there for those with the skills.
