    … still the best way for people to make a living …

    Best way to make decisions, yes, best way to contribute to your community, also yes, best way to earn your wage, yes. Best way to make a living? No sir. I’m afraid that time has passed. They are in fact doing everything in their power to make all work at every level, worthless, and the window where work has a meaningful economic impact, is closing. No wage earning skill set is going to be valuable if they get away with it, and even now, the best way to make a living is owning capital. Not using it, not producing with it, just owning it. There’s nothing gainful about employment in the 21st century. This economy only rewards rent seeking.
