I think society has never, does not, and probably will never work the way you suggest it should.

Nothing is ever ideal, but centuries of labor laws gets us in the right direction. A 4 day workweek would do wonders while still having plenty of work to be done.

Your statement is also why I fear this supposed promise that "AI will do all the work, society won't need jobs!". I don't think we're getting this post-work utopia that tecunocrats love to promise.

During COVID, society worked this way with lots of compassion and empathy, but then it broke some people's minds and it has been downhill ever since.
