That’s it right there. The politicians are always rambling “We need jobs.”

No. We need money, which might come from decent jobs.

“Jobs for jobs’ sake” is how we have mental health crises from countless practically-parentless households because everybody’s desperately, constantly working in needlessly stressful conditions.

Jobs are why most of us have no meaningful connections shortly after our highest level of schooling, because everyone’s on wacky schedules and has no time for anyone but whomever they happen to be stuck working with.

Jobs gave us broken homes and skyrocketing suicide rates.

Jobs can shove right off, for all they’ve taken from us.
