> There are also MILLIONS of people fucking off at work every day who do not deserve to have a job. GM had (has?) a clause in their union contract that did not allow them to fire people if their job was automated away. They had a building where 10,000 people would show up every day, year after year, get paid full salary and benefits only to read the paper and drink coffee all day. Can I get a source for the GM thing? That sounds fascinating. I wonder how the incentives got perverted in that manner. > My point, in case it isn't clear, is that if we are going to start to pass judgement based on who deserves what they have or they are getting let's make sure we are honest about passing said judgement at all levels. There are millions of people who do not deserve the jobs they have and millions more than are being carried by the work of others. But I also wanted to point out that it's perfectly fine to pass judgment on these people as well. Do not create a false dichotomy. Addressing the systematic wealth-hoarding of the top 0.01% is far more impactful than addressing wasteful middle managers and workers purely because of the size of wealth involved.
