What they h##l are you talking about?
So my dad who was a forest ranger, that was goverment paid, and helped control the fishing volume so there would always be fish that would bring in tourists to the regional lodges. So people in remote areas could add to the economy with their service jobs and build more lodges and fill hotels. He didn't have a real job? You don't see a pattern of employment that comes from a balanced society?
Really? Great work, well thought out post.
