More specifically it's capitalism or more broadly our strange obsession with private property. It's not just the rich. They need lots of folks just to keep it that way. Police, a military, Corp. lawyers, advertisers, bureaucrats and then pretty much all of management. All the #bullshitjobs, for short. Add second order bullshit jobs needed to support them with actual goods and services and you get the gravity of the issue. It's hilarious just how wasteful that has become.
