Define 'unnecessary'. If I run a pizza shop and there is sufficient demand to justify late night deliveries, then that position is absolutely necessary as I'm trying to maximize profits.
- heynowletsgo 10y agoThat's not his point. He's saying people buy pizza at night because they are unnecessarily working at night. Selling pizza at night shouldn't be necessary because its an artificially created market.
- SnowingXIV 10y agoIt's not artificial. I want pizza at night so I need someone to bring me pizza at night.
- heynowletsgo 10y agoIt is if the market wouldn't exist without people being forced to work at night. The difference seems to be very hard to understand.
- EpicEng 10y agoI guess you've never been to a bar. People working late are not the only consumers of pizza...
- heynowletsgo 10y agoYou misunderstand the point.
- jbmorgado 10y ago"then that position is absolutely necessary as I'm trying to maximize profits" Yes, that's the all point of the article and also the one I explaining: Capitalism is about "maximizing profits" not about social, intelectual, or even productive efficiency.
