It won't ever be easier except in unique cases or during the transitions. Companies will modify incentives and disincentives to encourage the same amount of effort from you but take any increased productivity for themselves, same as they always have and always wil. It's a consistent pattern of behavior that emerges from the incentives and disincentives of the capital system itself.

We will never be handed better lives. We have to take it from them to ever have it. I wish we'd all accepted this already and begin working together to make it happen.
