Have you noticed how your light switches still work and your toilet still flushes? Yeah? Turns out there are real jobs. Being a doctor is a real job too. It's a huge commitment and they deserve to be well compensated. But of course they're not, it's the administrators capturing all the economic rents.
- mindslight 4y agoYeah, I left 20% there for a reason. Doctors do accomplish real work, but I'd say most of their time is wasted - dealing with paperwork and financialization slicing most of their time up into useless 15 minute chunks. Speaking of the trades though, it's a plain illustration of the dynamic. Simple jobs end up with massive bills these days, and you know the guy doing the actual work isn't seeing much of it. Rather that money is going to the administrators that have congregated around his work - scheduler, billing, manager, owners, insurances, etc etc. So even for a straightforward concrete real-world physical job, there is still a huge amount of overhead!
