I was thinking a bit more about my employment history and it hit me that my experience and perception is that you have to fight, to compete for a job. And somehow it hit me that somehow that is strange. Something like ‘I like to work, I like to do something for you, I like to do something for some company’ AND I HAVE TO FIGHT, TÖ COMPETE FOR IT. So I want to offer my services and I have to compete to do something for someone. Weird, as it just means that somehow there is overcapacity in work, in labor. And isn’t that what humanity always kind of striven for? Not having to work anymore? Or work less?
And yes, I know that it’s more than just capacity. But it’s still weird that most people around me are too busy to do something for me and that I, and with me so many others have nothing to do, at least not business wise. And don’t get me wrong, in my case it may have to do with my personality or something. And in many other cases it might be something else. But somehow it is stupid to me that half of humanity seems to be too busy and is dying for a break or something and that the rest is craving for a job, to do something. And on the supply side it’s the same, as I see an awful lot of stock of virtually anything one can imagine to want to have and not so many people seem to be able to buy the stuff.
So to me there is really something to be improved in the world. On both the supply in working capacity and the supply in goods and services. It is 2013 and forty years after flying to the moon and more than hundred years after the invention of the plane and the automobile and something like twenty years after computer and cellphone became popular and somehow we can’t find a way to let humanity or at least the majority of humanity benefit from all the (technical) progress we have made. And we are not even able to feed everybody on this planet.
Weird and the more I think about it the weirder it gets. And yes, somehow it’s all about money, the greedy part of it.
Let’s stop this, let’s do something about this. This is inhumane.
