Slaves "had jobs" as well. Their masters just paid them in food, water, and shelter.

This whole thing about businesses "giving jobs" is ludicrous. American brainwashing. Businesses NEED workers. Not the other way around. Humans have always existed and survived for hundreds of thousands of years without "jobs". Businesses cannot survive without workers. Businesses would simply cease to exist without workers. People can still grow their own veggies and meat. Businesses can't generate profits without workers.



It actually cuts both ways. We workers need the business to exist for the work. The business needs our skills to continue being a business.


> People can still grow their own veggies and meat.

Not as an alternative means of even survival-level support if they don't have access to sufficient suitable real estate to do so.


People can still claim their own real-estate ;)


where?


That was a tongue-in-cheek comment about revolutions etc
