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. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
