    Well duh, executive officers and other members of the ownership class never apply for work. Their friends or family place them in the role.

      You can own stuff without extracting rents, I’ve taken to calling them the Parasite class, much more accurate description.

        While they are of course parasites, the Ownership class is the rent seeking class, as they keep goods away from others that are needed for life, in exchange seem ng rent for them instead of doing work.

        No one ever has ever advocated for abolishing all ownership of everything.
