I can't stand the idea that everyone needs a job; most of these jobs are useless. What we need is to solve problems and make less work for ourselves, but we're doing just the opposite: creating more and more work ad infinitum. And then they use that as an excuse for why we "need" constant population growth.
These "bullshit jobs" are only able to exist because the ruling class has made it so that we can't access the basic necessities of life if we don't allow ourselves to be exploited. We already make enough food and housing for everyone on Earth, it's a solved problem but greedy people arbitrarily make it so that only certain people can access it, that way they get to keep wielding power over us.
- monero-xmr 3y agoNo one will pay someone to do a job that has no purpose (unless the government mandated it). You might think a job is pointless but a there is nothing a businessman hates more than paying people to do nothing. If you want to see what giving people housing for free does, look at public housing. When there is no profit incentive to keep it maintained, they inevitably decline into decrepit eyesores as the government bureaucracy assigned to maintain it can’t manage.
