On: Time is the only real currency we have

[bananamerica]

As a Brazilian the idea of not having baggers makes me immediately concerned about unemployment...

Thats one thing the pandemic has made clear - how many jobs are unnecessary.

[bananamerica → chadcmulligan]

Depends on your criteria for necessity. I’d argue that if a job is required to give a person a living wage, than it is necessary.

[dhruvkar → bananamerica]

really? A job is necessary insofar as the value it provides in it's context. If bagging is not providing value, then the job isn't necessary.

Jobs (unfulfilled value) don't exist to provide a living wage.

A living wage is earned by doing something of value (a job).

You write as if your point of view is not only universal but absolute. I don’t think that is the case.

I'd love to hear another logical perspective on this.

I'm struggling to fathom another reason for a job existing (perhaps I'm closed-minded about it).

Jobs are gaps, unfulfilled value -- why would jobs exist otherwise?

I've really like to hear your perspective on this.

Jobs are also a mean to provide opportunity and distribute wealth.
