Isn't it facetious and cruel to hype the dignity of work in the land of vanishing jobs?

Haha….yes, it is, from she who has been flat lined from the recession. One must reinvent themselves and find meaning and dignity in new ventures. I have always thought our work ethic is over rated anyway, there is much more to life than work.

But,But @stanleybmanly You have to make the poor people feel that their work is important too, especially if you want to keep paying them dirt.

Yes. It’s essential that their self worth be called into question as I enlarge my portfolio.

Of course happy slaves are productive slaves,who cares if they can’t survive on their income we gave them a title what more do you want?? Sheeeesh.

Yes self worth=personal worth=net worth. it’s a bottom line world.

If, at the same time, they are thwarting the efforts of those who want to work, most definitely.

Very good!

I really wish others weighed in on this one, but they seem way to busy beating up Dutchess_III on her question.
Seems when a really good question comes along they skip it for some reason.

A society that does not provide opportunities for employment for 100% of its members is doom to collapse. Capitalism cannot solve this worldwide problem. It is dependent upon a significant amount of unemployed workers to keep costs down and profits up. As technology advances, fewer worker-hours will be necessary and unemployment will continue to increase. When people under thirty have nothing meaningful to do with their time, many will engage in behaviors that society deems undesirable.
