Another zinger
Another one-liner, maybe a bit too short and terse.
Harmeet Dhillon writes simply:
Every job is essential.
I'm not familiar with Dhillon; she seems to be a 'civil liberties' lawyer, which makes her motives dubious by my standards; but the intent of the sentence is clear enough.
Natural Law, in both Soviet and Sharia forms, would look at it from a different angle.
Everyone's talents are essential for civilization, so everyone can and should use their talents productively. In return, everyone who produces useful things or services should be paid decently.
The current coup is the final stage in eliminating ALL productive talents. From 1975 to now, we've been eliminating industrial production. Those jobs are all gone, so the elimination now moves to service jobs like plumbers and hairdressers and schoolteachers, who formerly felt safe from offshoring.
The only jobs that haven't been eliminated are Governors, Presidents, and CEOs of Share Value corporations. They are essential by current standards because they have an irreplaceable talent for obliterating civilization.
The only essential job now is genocide.
Every job is essential is a clarion call to restore the essentiality of PRODUCTIVE jobs, even those that may seem trivial. Or even simpler, STOP DECIDING which jobs are essential, and let customers decide.
