I think of it more like "what if all the effort resources put in to things like making funkopops and microtransaction heavy child addiction simulations for mobile phones were used for good things. What if we weren't all forced to drive into the officeif it wasn't truly necessary."

The neoliberal version is basically "cost of living goes up, manufacturing of instant waste goes up, the common man gets nothing."

It would only be odd if you didn't know we've had 30 years of wage stagnation and continously rising inequality.
