> What, exactly, is the point of commerce in the first place? Very good question. The point of commerce is that people be able to buy other people's time willingly for a rate they voluntarily negotiate. When you can buy someone else's time you save time for your own self to do something that interests you. Everyone time you fill gas in your car you are buying perhaps 0.5 seconds of a guy who chose to work on a Oil rig in Alaska and 1 second of a government servant in Washington DC working for Energy department. As long as people have free time there is never a problem of mass unemployment unless government makes it a crime to work on voluntarily negotiated terms.
