(17,301 posts)Welding all day long has got to be boring. Doing anything all day long is mind numbing and absolutely dull. Yet it's what capitalism is pushing each of us to do. You can't just write one good book or mix it up by changing genre. You can't direct people for a couple of hours, work with your hands for a couple of hours, and then turn to sales for a couple of hours. Not if you work for someone else. They hire you for one task or purpose and only one. The ultimate failure of a manager is a manger who ends doing the job he is managing others to do. Even CEOs and executives only do one thing over and over again, though their tasks are more complicated and thus more interesting.
Capitalism is a failed economic system. The test of any good economic system should be that everyone has work or a job, if they want it. No capitalist system has ever been able to do this. It has failed.
