    I literally just had someone on this site call me sad for looking up statistics to see if a claim a celebrity made was true

      I’ve shocked for years that somehow humanity even came this far, 20% of the population must be doing some heavy lifting keeping the other 80% afloat

        I mean, hordes of clerks and ‘unskilled’ workers are still mostly necessary so that food and goods to feed, house and clothe the 20% are delivered properly. Otherwise it would be Ayn Rand’s utopia where geniuses make stuff all day while being supplied by magic.
