Some jobs are important. Some jobs are utterly pointless and contribute nothing whatsoever to society as a whole.

I agree that governments are just trying to shove their fiat bullshit down our throats. IMHO the world would function a lot better with no governments whatsoever. South Africa has incredible natural resources and could easily be one of the wealthiest nations in the world, but our corrupt politicians have been screwing it up for the rest of us for the last 100 years or more.
