What you see as a problem is actually a solution. The static idea of a never ending unchanging hive is possible with bees and ants. Humans appear to be more complex and seem to have a wide array of yearnings. Many, if not most, do not wish to be merely drones. Business owners "outsourcing" rather than maintaining the inflexible hive, creates a more fluid society with varying possibilities. New opportunities for new entrepeneurs and new jobs are made with shifting demographics. This is what usually happens when the free market is allowed to function. Is that uncomfortable? Freedom is not comfortable. It requires constant vigilance and constant effort. The comfort of one nice paying job for life with great bennies is only possible if it is sustainable. If you wish the comfort of the hive, how do you propose to sustain it?
