    A Job's Guarantee is a real movement, and a reasonable idea for this reason. Not having a job puts you in a lower social caste - might as well have them doing SOMETHING. Even if it…

    When you realize that legitimately becoming rich is such a long shot no matter how great you do, the idea of cheating becomes alluring. Helps if you keep in mind that Jeff Bezos co…
