"fighting for too few jobs"

It is not jobs people actually want.

It is the resources and status that you get by having a job.

There may be too few jobs, but there are plenty of resources.

It is simply that they are all owned by very few people.

Like .0001 percent of the population or something.

So if more people put their energy towards getting the things they really want... the resources... instead of jobs, we would all be a lot better off IMO
