I think it would be great if unnecessary jobs that don't really contribute anything useful to society were wiped out. Absolutely fantastic. You're going to get rid of middlemen? I salute you if you can, that would be a fantastic accomplishment.

As far as engineers and lawyers and others unable to find work... I call BS. I'm sorry but it's not just not that simple. Maybe you can't find work - in the area you want to live in, at the pay grade you think you deserve. But you could get a job if you really were determined to, you just might have to accept a lower wage than what you think you deserve and/or move to an area where that job is needed.

There are a LOT of people that aren't working right now because they have it stuck in their head that "I deserve 75k to do job xyz" but the market is only offering them 60k so they hold out and keep looking.... and don't get anywhere. Well, you aren't entitled to any particular salary, you just get the best you can based on what the market is willing to offer and your ability to present yourself as a desirable candidate.
