Unemployment is the Cure
To wit:
The whole idea of a "job" was invented by the leisure-class royal families of old Europe, working in cabal with the rising merchant class, to coerce people off their lands and into the assembly-lines of rote, repetitive toil in the time-clock factories of the Industrial Revolution.
Amazing. Nobody had a job prior to the Industrial Revolution.
We should learn from the scene in the H.G.Wells-based movie "The Time Machine" (the one starring Rod Taylor) in which the passive Eloi hear the whistle and mindlessly enter the Morlochs' lair to be eaten. That pretty much sums up the last couple centuries for the 99% of us.
If we want to "fix" our broken economic system, we first have to eliminate jobs. Most of them will either slowly or quickly kill you, and the absurd fixation on unemployment rates is just a ruse to preserve unequal wealth.
It was at this point, the headache got to be too much. Read the whole thing, if you have a strong constitution for stupid.
No replies from the ant farm, as of yet.
