"If you work a job where you do something useful, you are on the losing side of this economy. All the real money is in this socially useless, no-value-creating, hypertrophied, metastasized finance sector. Every gain in finance is matched by a loss. It all amounts to – literally – nothing." by @pluralistic
Call it cynical, but we do need a serious re-evaluation of our concept of "worth". When we talk about economic growth, honestly question what is is that is growing.
