yeah, that's how the economy works. demand and supply.

that's what's going on in tech right now, too many people chasing too few jobs.

there are no guarantees in life, so you have to adapt.

and a lot of people would be a lot richer if they had better economic habits.

define improving society? like a greater GDP? a greater per capital income? etc. also realize that your definition of 'better society' likely has nothing to do with someone else's.

healthcare for all sounds good on paper, but how can it be achieved if we already have a medical system that can't meet the needs of current demands? if we had medical for all and were able to provide decent service for all, we'd likely need to quadruple the number of healthcare workers...

it's easy to have high minded ideals about this stuff, it's much harder and murkier to get into the real world details and the real world consequences of 'improvement' in society.

if you passed medicare for all tomorrow, the medical system would collapse because it wouldn't be able to meet the demand. people would be waiting years for basic checkups, instead of months they wait now. my PCP books appointments six months in advance.
