&gt; <i>Yeah, there&#x27;s always some holdovers commenting from the era of easy jobs and easy money.</i><p>Ironically, this complaint always seems to ignore that a ton of jobs in the &quot;easy jobs&quot; era were shitty menial jobs. Factory work in shitty conditions and similar. These are the jobs that have been automated away.<p>And, strangely, this kind of comment also ignores that women weren&#x27;t anywhere near as significant a part of the old workforce... and the ones that were had signficantly reduced opportunites available and were legally paid less than men.
