Non-Labor Income of the 21st Century

The following types of activity bring society neither necessary goods nor useful services. Those engaged in them are suckers-hangers on the body of humanity: they reap pretty harvest, sowing zero or so. Technically, these activities are legal, almost legal, or semi-legal, but that doesn't make them any less shameful:

speculators in currency, stock, commodity, etc: volatile buy-and-sell operators eager to quickly buy for 1 cent and sell for 1 dollar what they never needed and bought solely for profit – dummy entrepreneurs who crap society with rising prices and instability;

crypto adventurers or treasure hunters of the century: they mine, quarry, and trick-bear cryptocurrencies – by drawing numbers from numbers that do not exist in nature; irrepressible consumers of the planet's electric energy who imagine themselves to be an outpost of a great cryptographic future (further development of photonic processors and quantum computers will make cryptocurrencies an even more dubious nature);

parasite employment consultants who encourage the unemployed to invest; by definition, the unemployed have little money, but they are called to make investments, including in surrogate assets like cryptocurrencies;

cheating programmers or masters of dead virtual souls – they are the lazy elite of the parasitic kingdom: they launch countless robot visitors as if real human visitors on their websites in order to inflate traffic, fool the Internet and advertisers who advertise on these sites, and receive undeserved income;

chatterboxes of all stripes, pouring all sorts of things from useless to worthless on their Internet pages, including tall tales and bombastic nonsense (often copy pasting from just like them) – in order to pump up the traffic to their pages and get an undeserved reward from advertising on them;

pyramid firms which hire employment consultants – for a small initial investment in organizational work on the part of the hired, so that the hired ones also attract new starters-payers – deceivers of the next waves of pseudo consultants, and so on...

May the lost ones come to their senses, and may they find their good creative vocation!
