Jobs don't help people. If jobs made peoples lives better we could give people spoons and have them dig a canal from the east coast to the west coast....then fill it back up lest we cause the stickle back fish to go extinct.
What makes peoples lives better is the availability of goods and services and the means for people to exchange goods and services. What improves peoples lives is production and money(since it is the tool by which we exchange goods and services). Create an environment where goods and services are readily produced and readily exchanged then you improve peoples lives.
Yes, and what would you call providing a good or service in exchange for money, which you admit is what improves people's lives?
A fucking job, numbnuts.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
