Empire of the Nonsensical

Whether people realize it or not, the whole phenomenon of competition in the Job Market(tm), is at it's very heart "SELF-interested".

This is in no way meant to be an indictment of the need to provide for one's family (By the way=BTW). to provide for one's family is usually an honorable ambition.

But competition in the JOB MARKET has one particularly selfish characteristic...

There is a share-system, that only ever becomes diluted when the person or persons doing the job are "not meeting their targets"... That is an intrinsically volatile way of determining who "gets" a job and who "doesn't".

That's just a fact of logic You can't split a person's needs.

To state the otherwise-obvious--one person needs what one person needs.

There's a bit of a deception in any share-system itself...from the get-go.The only option the worker has is whether or not to participate AT ALL. And there''s no real choice there, is there?

Even in the most primitive economies people use "indivisible" denominations of "resources".

Res-pennies if you will.

aka the Stuff. "Understanding" resource "dilution" requires at-least a knowledge of algebra.

And some people have just resigned themselves to living in a world where not knowing the "math" is A-OK.

They'll acquire the necessary resources sometime before they reach the register. lol. ;)

I know because I have often played the role of the "spot-supplier"...a skilled-art that should NEVER be under-estimated by the general-public. ;)
