the system was arguably always rigged but the economy was way better, so people could make due and generally be happy. now, you need to get lucky and land a good job by sucking enough dick socially and being in the right place at the right time, otherwise it's the wagie cage for the rest of your life until you die or kill yourself. pointing out flaws in the current work/job system apparently makes you a commie around these parts so i'll leave it at that. i'll say this: there's a reason so many young people check out of traditional jobs and prefer to have their go at becoming streamers/youtubers/influencers/etc , because that's basically being your own boss and making massive profit in comparison to the average job that demands much more of your time and effort.
