Most jobs do in fact contribute to the well being of humanity, however little. It's few jobs, like most in financial trading, that actively reduce the well being of humanity.

Never will you meet a more self-deluded and pathetic set of humans. Desperate money addicts that often become other kinds of addicts. Whole thing should be abolished.

No, they don't. A lot of jobs hold os back, actually. Salespeople selling things people don't wanna buy, finance and tech bros vampirizing third world countries without the safeguards that western countries have on their capital markets, etc.
