The question is though, if I know what I am doing now is not sustainable (vacations are meaningless because "pre-monday dread" hits on day 1 no matter how long I'm taking off for), but I know I'll be out in 9 years vs if I switch to something "sustainable" it will take 20-30 more years to be out: which do I pick? Lots of people say try to do something you like (sustainable), but the rub is I don't like anything that will pay me a livable wage and definitely not anything that will pay me enough to opt out of the working world at some point before I'm like 60-70. Also, I used to really like programming. Like a lot. But now I hate it because I've been forced to program stuff I don't care about all day, every day for a decade. Why would the next time be any different if I switched to a career I enjoy now?
"I know I'll be out in 9 years."
Guessing you FIRE hard? The rule is that people in this field upgrade their lifestyle, the exception is FIRE.

There is no functioning market to begin with. Housing prices and rent are through the roof in California, yet supply is not rising to meet demand, largely because existing owners oppose new construction.
Turnabout is fair play. If owners organize politically to control supply, tenants can organize politically to control prices.
Yes. Price controls are a race to the bottom.

If yes, is this not a good a thing? Part-time employees are not significantly different than contractors in terms of benefits owed so it's not a major cost for that use case. And if you're working full-time for somebody, don't you deserve the benefits everybody else gets?
Yes and no.
This will force companies to hire more employees, true, but at the cost of a much smaller overall workforce. Remember that cost is a constraint for businesses.
Depends what is more valuable from a human + capitalism perspective, fewer work opportunities that pay better or more competition and “starter/flexible” work overall.

1) Governments have law and warrants allowing them to get those data.
2) Companies with a lot of data are complying with those warrants.
The question is: can we fix #2 without fixing #1?
