> Nobody is worse off if new sources of employment are made available.
Sometimes yes and sometimes we are all worse, specially if the source of employment is the cause of a massive oil spill.
> "predatory businesses" are going to be completely at odds with the ideas behind "their jobs are pointless"
Again, not always. A "pointless company" (or government agency), however efficient, will always be full of people doing pointless jobs.
- roenxi 9y agoYou might have misread what I put between the quotation marks, "predatory company" not "pointless company". It goes a fair bit against the grain of stereotype to describe the government as a predatory employer.
- redial 9y agoYou misread what I said. Any company can be pointless, even predatory ones, and yes, even government agencies. And I never described the government as a predatory employer. The quotation marks I added to "pointless company" have no relation to the quotation marks on your comment, which seems to be the source of confusion.
