Oops i should say; too many people.
What i am looking for is a genius mathematician. But they probably are all busy crunching mumbers.
So we have more people on the planet then ever, but what i am hearing these days that there is a shortage of workers.
What i wonder is can we put a formula to see where the problem is. Is it people in their sixties like my self that suddenly retired early? maybe. Is it that young people do not want to work anymore and stay in school longer? maybe.
Or is it mostly that we have created a society, where we have more needs then that we have people that can fullfill those needs?
And one such need is the buraucracy, i am off a generation that always complained about buraucracy, but as i can see we only have more now.
And with buraucracy i kind of mean, let say we have a nurse, we think of nurses to care for our sick, but nowadays a nurse, spends a lot of time on other things like writing reports. And lets take the hospital, it needs a whole army of other employers besides nurses. Only little amount of time is actually used on physically caring for the patient.
So there is that, but then there is also that when i get sick i expect this army to stand up for me. How would i feel if...haha you can think of your own horrible example of lack when you end up in the hospital.
When i go to the groccery store i expect ...
when i.. etc etc
I think when a genius mathematician can crunch these numbers, it will turn out that i cannot have all that i have now, it is physically just not possible, we do not have enough people.
How to end slavery? Is still, maybe now more then ever, the question.
I love to hear your thoughts, corrections!
or adding where you see that it just doesn't add up.

We have a huge number of post WWII 'baby boomers' reaching retirement age, worldwide. Wages have not kept place with inflation (and soon to be much worse) so there is an element of not being able to afford to work. Weather changes are causing huge demographic migrations. Many during the COVID epidemic have left the job market for all sorts of reasons. There is a factor of people who choose not to work or to work in cash jobs. Bureaucracy is not really a major play. Much of what good government does is work to have safe working conditions, clean water, environmental protections, etc., all of which the anti-bureaucracy people (conservatives) don't want. It's complex, not simple.
Thanks Art, complex indeed. and yes to it all, i see what you say.
Very interesting ideas. It is not all so simple. The earth can not continue to sustain the kinds of life we WANT (as opposed to NEED) The problem is too many people in the first place - who among your readers will give up having kids? That's the problem in more ways than one. Parents having kids who are not taking the responsibility of teaching children how to live in society with responsibility. So many people scream out - It is my right to this or than - They forget first comes the acceptance of personal responsibility only then you get to have your right. Examples a driver's license - know the rules stop signs, speed limits, then you can get a license. Respect for our neighbors - then you can own property. Control of anger - they you can get a gun license, etc. etc.
Thank you Gardens at Waters East, yes wants indeed not needs. Awereness comes to mind reading your reply. I am working on it!
