> there's now a surplus of tech workers (and "creatives" too), all the investment is tied up in bullshit

but why is it when it's coal miners we're like "we can retrain them, they can become programmers or learn how to work on solar" but when it's tech people we're like "whoa there, they need those jobs. what are we gonna do, train them to be plumbers and electricians? they LOVE what they do and it makes them happy"

Yeah a lot of people running machines at the coal mines were happy and felt like they had a sense of purpose too. They don't want to change careers.
