The level of productivity per capita in the economy today is vastly more than enough to supply our entire population with only a fraction working.

There's also plenty of information indicating that if given the choice, most people actually want to work...they just don't want to be working shit jobs for shit pay for shit bosses.

I'm not saying finance is all bad, I'm saying when the financial situation is harder to understand than the so-called "real economy"...don't!
