The Entire Concept of Employment

It has recently occurred to me that employment is a relatively unfair concept. In a capitalist world the only way to survive beyond your means is to work for someone else, doing work for them. Now since employment has only been around for about 10,000 years it is still a relatively new idea in the evolution of the human race.

Before that, we used to rely on trade and exchanging our trade for other items in other trades. For example, a pig farmer would give one dead pig to a blacksmith, for re-shoeing his horse or something like that.

So i put it to anyone who is reading this, we rid ourselves of the inevitable drudgery from age 16 to 65 and actually do things for ourselves. It's the only way to actually save this planet in my opinion...
