The job "market". Every time I hear a politician say "I'm going to make more jobs", I want to yell "jobs are made by the act of doing something!"
The fact that some of us own land and others the rest of us have to pay them to live on it.
Or the fact that we have to pay to have a roof over our heads. Like how is that not essential to living? Why are there people making money out of essential things like housing, schools, electricity, water, etc?
[Edit] Whoops, I did not intend this to be a comment to you.
Donβt worry, happens to me quite frequently.
