People only put in their best when they have something real to gain, it's some sort of underlying human requirement. For lots of people, if they can't possibly win, they don't see any point in playing. <br /><br />I don't necessarily think it is horrible, just not sustainable that's all. I also sense it somewhat weakens our social structure when we have too few options to break free from the mainstream. A layer of easy come/easy go temporary jobs that pay OK, means we don't have to keep on the career path for the entire 40 years of our working lives. We can rest a bit in between, occasionally.<br /><br />Paul.Paul W.

He figures they accepted it as the cost to avoid rampant communism or socialism. A trade-off where it's made easier for people to get a career, in exchange for not equally sharing everything. A sort of half-way point. <br /><br />I'm not sure I believe him, but it is an interesting theory.<br /><br />Paul.Paul W.
