Long term, yes, great for the planet. But shorter term, a shrinking pool of working aged adults are going to have to care for a growing pool of elderly. Additionally, the overall economy is going to contact before the age cohort imbalance takes care of itself. Same thing is happening across most of the developed world, but it's happening faster in China, and they're less developed to start with.

When was this? When did people who need to devote their life to a craft long enough to get good at not want, even need, to be paid for it? There have always been hobbyists, and maybe that's all you want, but there has never been a time when musicians would not have preferred to be supported by their passion, rather than the job they had to do in order to keep eating.

I have never before encountered someone who used the word "bourgeoisie" unironically. So cute! Now say something about the proletariat and the means of production!

This is utter nonsense. If the US was a dictatorship, I wouldn't be scared to death of the upcoming elections.

What's that? It's on somebody's property. Someone is paying for power, connectivity, and air conditioning.

Why do you think so?
