There is a correction coming where the shit jobs will skyrocket in wages. They cannot keep those jobs wages depressed forever by infinite population growth because every environment has a maximum carrying capacity. And when that population stops growing, whether by zeroing immigration or by massive famine because that carrying capacity was reached, there will be incredible inflation as the market corrects and raises wages for jobs that MUST get done. All the useless eaters that participate in the services circle jerk will have to do real labor for once in their lives. The superwealthy will have to spend their wealth on the only thing that costs them money: wages
Black Death did that in Europe. Suddenly not only were there a shortage of tradesmen to do skilled labor, there was even a shortage of day laborers and tennant farmers.
Suddenly the poorest in society could not only sell their labor at a higher cost, they could negotiate better terms for the farm they rented.
