Here is an idea. Instead of complaining about all these irrelevant
jobs, why don't you start a company and only hire people to do
meaningful work. It certainly seems unfair that the managers, whose
job is to tell other people what to do and make sure it gets done, get
paid more than the people actually doing the work. So just don't hire
any managers. I'm sure that with all of the money you save, you
business will grow rapidly and crush your competition. Or if that
seems evil (because you don't believe in money), then just give away
all the goods and services you would have sold instead. Let us know
how it works out.
