Employed to what end is a question you seem to not be asking at all

Continue piling onto the stash already very wealthy people have is primarily all this economic activity is accomplishing now as they crater retirements, cut healthcare or inflate prices out of the reach of the majority (which globally ~80% lives on ~2.50/day.)

What’s the point of 40-50+ hrs a week for me now if some whithered old geezer can change a law and flush the effort down the drain

How about meet basic utilitarian needs of food and healthcare, common ones of all humans, in the domain of the government

And what we spend on time on otherwise is up to us. Let’s all punch a clock to make earrings and baubles to support the ephemeral economy? Why does one need to be compelled to make consumer garbage? Oh cause stock prices or we can’t anger a small portion of the population: rich people

They have no divine right to wealth you know?

It’s self eating shitshow of stupid ideas that reinforce stupid ideas.

Steve Jobs is right: none of the rich are any smarter or more capable than your avg college grad. They just got lucky sooner
