In a good economy, I would expect there to be ample jobs that pay well above cost of living.
What I see instead is people begging for someone to pay their basic needs, people complaining they've applied to hundreds of jobs and being rejected by all of them, headlines of layoffs, and my family's abysmal financials (that were fine until 2020).
It's tribalism. “If it looks like a person, but it behaves differently from me, then it's an outsider or a defect. Either way, it's bad for the tribe, so get rid of it.” Definitely one of humanity's darkest traits.
And one hell of a lot of work, too! Reimplementing the Windows APIs that Wine didn't already have, and then optimizing those implementations enough to be not only sufficient for some of the most performance-sensitive software under the sun but faster than actual Windows, is no small feat.
