It’s not your job to fix capitalism. But it is your job to evaluate if your money making skill comes at too high a price for others.

Say you found a job shooting people in the head for money. Like if you work for ICE or something…

You need to feed your family. Is this job ok? You may decide yes. I decided no. I will find another way to feed my family.

You don’t get to escape consequences because you are a small cog in a large system.

In the bigger picture, automation should free people from labor. But that requires some very greedy people to relax their grip ever so slightly. I imagine they see automation as a way to reduce reliance on labor, and if they don’t need labor, they don’t need people. So let them starve and stop having kids.
