Hey Jessiemployees
We're all told that we need to grow up and become productive members of society, go out and create jobs and wealth for society, and in return, we get to keep a piece of that production in the form of money. I also believed this narrative for many years; I thought it to be true simply due to the law that everyone is doing it, so it must be true.
The truth is all jobs are, is a broken way for governments to inject their cancerous currencies into society and making you feel as if it's worth something. They borrow money into existence, and you provide the proof of work to get some of that action.
We need more jobs
This is why governments are always so desperate to get the job numbers up; without more jobs, they can't force more of their currency onto you, they can't make you more dependant on their currency, and they don't have a bigger tax base to exploit and steal your time and value.
The desperation for jobs has also caused an avalanche of bullshit jobs and misallocation of resources. I can't tell you how many assholes I run into every day that have no idea that what they do for a living is completely useless, all because they get a fat paycheque for it.
The jobs value isn't in what you do, what you learn, what you contribute to society, but how many 0's are dumped into your bank account if you show up for 22 days a month.
We don't need jobs; we need passion to be rewarded
Your countries job count isn't a measure of success; it's a measure of slavery; it's a measure of dependency on the government.
What we should be measuring is
- how few hours someone needs to work to have a good living,
- how good the quality of life is
- how good a store of savings people have
- how productive and efficient business is
- how low the debt levels are so we don't need to pull productivity from the future to survive
- how equal society is
- how low corruption is
- how competitive businesses markets are
These are measurements that show the success of a country. I always thought that leaving South Africa was the thing I needed to do to thrive; I always thought it was too hard here.
I still do, but what I've realised is no matter where I go, if I don't have resources, I am just another unless dick dependant on the state.
Forget nation-states; focus on economies of scale
The fact is the state needs to take a back seat, the same way the church had to after they were disrupted by the printing press and the wealth of alternative thinkers. The state will go the same way as private money takes back power away from them.
I've already made it known I don't care too much for shitcoins or digital assets; I think they're a load of bull. However, I do see why they exist; they are there to compete with fiat, which has been so horrible; I mean, you'd rather hold a shitcoin than many of the fiat currencies around the world today; that's the unfortunate truth.
The fiat system's so broken that we have so many make-believe jobs, make-believe money and fragile egos.
Have your say
What do you good people of HIVE think?
So have at it my Jessies! If you don't have something to comment, "I am a Jessie."
