They are just two examples of things we need. Did you expect an extensive list of all the things someone needs to do? What is the point of your comment?

- csomar 5y agoSure, you can employ everyone and they’ll still be useful. Trash on the streets? That’s a job. Pothole in the road, that’s another job. I just commented that the basic necessities of life (food, water, electricity, etc…) can be covered with very few people.
- culopatin 5y agoWho supplies the wires? The copper to the wire maker? The plastic for insulation? Transporting it? Building the road/tracks? Etc etc. Of course there are bullshit jobs out there, but I think we are under estimating
- stevenhuang 5y agoI don't think we are underestimating. When you hit scale like that with specialization, it's conceivable a relatively small amount of jobs can provide a society with the base necessities.
