The jobs which automation has “created,“ which you like to cite in opposition are generally not high-paying.

If we're going to have this exchange again, wouldn't be more fun not to feign ignorance of everything that everyone here has said before on the subject? Asking for a friend.
Lots of great jobs are being created. They tend to get created in places like the Bay Area, Austin and New York City, rather than places like Allentown, Detroit or New Orleans.

As to your final point, having a place to go is increasingly becoming a luxury. Businesses don’t pay for luxuries for staff. Particularly when they are run by private equity and MBAs.

I have been thinking about this, and I'm not sure it's right. It's one thing to take a well-functioning company and move to a distributed model where everyone works from home. It would be quite another to build a company where people are rarely in the same space together. In the first, you get trade on the relationships and culture that you built. In the second, you have to figure out how to create those things without a lot of good interpersonal contact.
It's like moving from the Bay Area/Austin/NYC to Allentown/Detroit/New Orleans. You get to do it once and you get to trade up when you do it, but it doesn't work the other way around.
