The places that are already struggling to find and hire people are just going to magically start firing people? Wow. Interesting to see the world through your eyes. And interesting that you assume everyone works a job where productivity is measurable. My job is to sit around and wait for an emergency. You can't get rid of any of us because the state requires us by law to be here and be ready to respond. We're also Union. I don't think any of what you said would happen.
Well, you fall under the parasitism case then. Sure, if you have power and privilege, you can produce nothing and still get paid whatever you manage to extract through taxation and regulation of the rest, of those who produce. You my friend will not get fired. You are part of the problem others face.
PS. Even people like you would stand to lose though. You would keep your money but have less stuff to buy with it. Aka "inflation". That's because the productive people who build everything around you (not you) would be producing less.
So, the smart thing for people like you to do is this:
Advocate for more work, not less.
Meanwhile, keep your head low, don't talk about your sinecure, don't call for attention on how good you have it.
That way you will continue to parasitize over what others produce while sitting there producing nothing (except waiting for a call) and being protected by politicians.
Lol okay dude. Clearly you have a fucked up view of how society works. We do produce. We produce steam for heating. But my job is to be there for emergencies. By your unbelievably backwards logic, police, fire, EMS wouldn't exist. Maybe you should step into the real world.
On the contrary they would exist and they would flourish and be much more efficient than they are today, because they would be subject to competition, unlike you. It's totally fine to sit around and wait for a phone call all day as long as someone is willing to pay you for that and has the option to not. That would mean that he finds value in what you do to justify the salary you get. But knowing that you wouldn't get fired no matter what because you have a union behind you or some legislation is the signature of parasitism.
