As a Brazilian the idea of not having baggers makes me immediately concerned about unemployment...
- chadcmulligan 7y agoThats one thing the pandemic has made clear - how many jobs are unnecessary.
- bananamerica 6y agoDepends on your criteria for necessity. I’d argue that if a job is required to give a person a living wage, than it is necessary.
- dhruvkar 6y agoreally? A job is necessary insofar as the value it provides in it's context. If bagging is not providing value, then the job isn't necessary. Jobs (unfulfilled value) don't exist to provide a living wage. A living wage is earned by doing something of value (a job).
- bananamerica 6y agoYou write as if your point of view is not only universal but absolute. I don’t think that is the case.
- dhruvkar 6y agoI'd love to hear another logical perspective on this. I'm struggling to fathom another reason for a job existing (perhaps I'm closed-minded about it). Jobs are gaps, unfulfilled value -- why would jobs exist otherwise? I've really like to hear your perspective on this.
- bananamerica 6y agoJobs are also a mean to provide opportunity and distribute wealth.
