You run into a problem, though. Factory jobs were replaced with more skilled, higher-status jobs.
Right now, we’re trending towards replacing those jobs with worse, lower-status jobs. Understandably, people my age are not thrilled.
Mostly disagree. We already had this happen once with factories displacing artisans. Same with farm mechanization. Capitalism survives. People come up with new jobs. Schumpeter speaks on this.

The critical panning this got at the time seems quaint considering that, yes, it’s pretty inconsistent as an album and contains some real stinkers, but Dress and Getaway Car are two of her best songs and now, with Showgirl, we know how truly bad a Taylor Swift album can be.

There's a cruel irony in the fact that my social life improving tenfold over the past year has made me drastically more pessimistic about dating.

This seems semi-related to the rise in the Christian denomination whose doctrine is “Jesus died for your sins and therefore nothing is required of you. Christianity is all worship and love and never involves doing hard things you do not want to do.”
I think some of you could be married in 12 months, but you unconsciously enjoy pining after an idealized spouse more than actually liking and dating people.

I just got my first Hinge match in I think like 4 months and she instantly unmatched. Nice.

Guys. A song sounding sort of like another song is not illegal. Christmas Wrapping has a really distinctive chord progression with a major III and a very memorable horn riff, neither of which the Olivia Rodrigo song uses at all.
So Olivia Rodrigo, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, interpolated The Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping" in her new song. Instead of giving the 77 year old middle class writer proper credits and royalties, she buttered him up with praise and concert tickets.
