Right on, I didn't mean it as an insult, or a compliment. I like to discuss with people who think differently to challenge my views and learn.

No response?
You just shit on people and spew your opinion without any debate? Why even start the conversation?

I disagree with your initial assumptions. Why and/or how does a highly automated society have to become post-labor?
What do you think happens when congress passes a spending bill? We use taxes to hire people in the private sector to do the work contained in the bill.
Based on your personal opinion, you just sound like a communist.

You got two offers, congrats! You are lucky you graduated in 2022 and not 2008. Took me about 1.5 years and thousands of applications to get my first job offer after graduation.

I totally agree. However, what you are describing, I think, is an unavoidable consequence of development. The "best" (what is best depends on morals, ethics, politics, religion, etc. and is subjective) we can do is have a safety net to soften the blow, which we already have. I think determining the fair level the safety net provided is a much larger debate which gets into the political side of economics, ethics, etc.
During the industrial revolution, the automation of the loom created the Luddites. During the 20th century, factory automation created the Rust Belt.
Gentrification is another example of how development kind of screws people unavoidably, but there really is nobody to blame.
