    academics and envy

    The politicians overhere have come up with a plan to solve the academic proletariat problem they have created. Academics have to accept a job at any level (digging up flower bulbs is given as an example). 'Have to' in this context means:otherwise you will lose your benefits. But you don't have to fear that you will make less money in this job, because the government is going to pay you on top of your normal wages.

    That must be fun working in the fields next to an academic who earns more for the same work than you and probably takes brakes 3 times as long because he is not so motivated. The free market will no doubt solve it by creating phantom jobs, to keep these people from demotivating the real workers. Or give academic diploma's to the existing workers. That will then require more civil servants to check on the corruption taking place,..........arrgghhh, I need to get out

    Re: academics and envy

    I meant the market that bends around coercion. In a free situation, none of this stuff would occur, but given coercion, the market finds the best way to deal with it. Like these companies that help other companies exploit subsidies and take 20% of the money they get in. These companies are usually staffed by ex goverment employees who wrote the laws for the subsidies.

    Free situation:none of this nonsense

    coercion:specialized companies help to reduce the damage.
