The best paying jobs are increasingly removed from any real form of value creation. Western Markets value deception, financialization, and asset inflation far more than actual labor, accurate accounting, and efficient administration. The professional test-writer makes more than the teacher. The real estate agent makes more than the construction worker. The insurance actuary makes more than the physician. The salesman makes more than the factory worker.
Follow this business logic to its ultimate conclusion and everything becomes an MLM.
MLM is a nefarious scheme to exploit surplus monetary value of other people's relationships. Jerking clubs are egotistical weak attempts at false class identification.
