We have entered a Malthusian era where there are only so many “good” jobs to go around.
This is a result of becoming ever more productive. There is less and less need for low information work, but we have many low information persons.
Plus, immigrants of all legalities are willing to work these jobs. This is why the hospitality industry is booming. The well employed travel and are entertained. The lesser employed wait on them.
What is the endgame? Is there an endgame?
A complete false hood. It is not due to the lack of jobs, it is because of government intrusion and high taxation.
Plus, immigrants of all legalities are willing to work these jobs?
It is not the legal immigrants that have hurt the work place, it is an army of illegals that will work for far less under the table.
The endgame?
The endgame is that we are reaching the point where the government will be the primary provider of all sustainance because they have rigged it that way.
“...There is less and less need for low information work,
but we have many low information persons...”

I have thought about this and I came to the conclusion
that we should build pyramids and sphinx-es-es.
So true, and everything has already been invented that can be invented.
This is it, mankind has hit the ceiling, there is no way to go higher.
I agree with that, but it isn't technology that's created it -- it's government regulations that make labor too expensive. With OSHA, Unemployment, minimum wages, workmen's comp etc., there is an added incentive to develop the technology that replaces labor.
