We know, but the taxes are the story.
The right arithmetic is results, productivity, problem solving, happy customers. Hard is just a PITA.

The solution, finding transferrable skills, is harder as industries change so fast. Many a software engineer has been cast out for the promise of AI, which employs far fewer so far.
Trust busting and taxation of extreme wealth will help society maintain an infrastructure beneficial to more people, who can then create new industries and compete with and improve existing ones.
Otherwise, unbridled capitalism will consume all, even itself. Right now, it’s having a feast on democracy and the rule of law.

More programers are in demand. Ai makes coders more efficient, so corporations are hiring.
It s easy to decide making your numbers is more important than work. But we still live in a physical world. AI, robots, and automation may be the future but we still need experienced, trained people to make it happen.
1984 w govt watching everything we do might be on the way. But robots doing everything seems unlikely. They seem far more interested in electricity than food. Will they decide to stop feeding us?
