              Cool good for you (if that’s even true)

              Anyway, in the very real world that we live in, unemployment is kept at certain levels so capitalists can dictate wages and responsibilities. It’s not a secret. Bourgeois media openly panics whenever unemployment levels get too low.

                  Yes, they are panicking because people have bargaining power to get higher wages. Are you still not connecting the dots there?

                  I have a skill and I am not struggling like some of my other comrades are. That does not make me blind to the purpose of unemployment or to the fact that if everyone in the world had my skill set then that would mean there are a lot of important jobs that aren’t getting done, a fact that, curiously, has completely escaped you.
