    Is there a scenario where lifetime paycheck employment re-emerges as the dominant middle-class model within the next 30 years?

        Sure. Get enough exploited workers together and they can restart an effective labor movement. 100 years ago it was pretty bleak for the average worker, more than now.

        Complacent Facebook/Amazon/Google/Apple employees? As these companies become more staid and stable they attract employees with intra-institutional instincts rather than entrepreneurial ones.

        No. A massive die off; from pandemic, that preserves infrastructure, would take >30 yrs to recover from; no middle class until 0hour+40 years (2 generations). First Contact leading to a Meiji Style socio-political upheaval, maybe?

        Tech changes jobs, sure, but more than a little of the precarity we see today is artificially and cynically injected into the system by the owner class.

        Probably not. What you describe is based upon three things:1) dominance of US industry post World War2 2)) cheap oil, 3). Labor unions and capital agreeing to compromise for benefit of society

        Increasing hegemony of FAANG with Graeberian feudal bullshitization for no other reason than to dampen the wealth disparity.
