    Jobs don’t exist when people don’t create them. It’s not business owners’ fault that the majority of people would rather take the easy route of working for them rather than run their own business. They are literally helping people survive that cannot survive on their own merits or are too lazy to bother. Your earnings and earning potential is your own business, not anyone else’s.

    So yes, people can create their own jobs, it’s how it’s been most of human history. The employee employer relationship, as it is now, is pretty recent.

      Your earnings and earning potential is your own business, not anyone else’s.

      This just ignores like…the entire history of capitalism and its justifications. Frankly, it’s incoherent in any context. I mean you explicitly say people are working for others and then say my earnings and earning potential is on me and me alone. Because the one I’m working for has absolutely no say in my earnings or earnings potential.

        They are on you and you alone. You can choose to work at some job an employer offers at whatever deal you agree to, or you can run your own business.

        Just because an employer has a say in how much they pay, doesnt mean you can’t go a different way.

        Of course the easy way is cheap… If employers are the complaint, create your own income streams.
