Why is it so hard to be a part-time bank teller (or to get any job)?

[giblets]

Pareto efficiency doesn't allow for any wealth redistribution.

Why not?

[KrazyHorse]

There is no reason. The true statement is that pareto efficiency is not affected by wealth transfer except in cases where extremely inefficient redistribution schemes have been chosen.

So what's your point about physical attractiveness again?

That the *****es are hot?

Ref. the money and value argument, the amount of money you earn is indicative of how useful you are to others as a means to their ends, but only insofar as their ends are such as whose means can be and are decided through monetary calculation. Earnings are not an indicator of 'absolute' values or ends, as such values and final ends are the basis of, but still beyond the scope of, monetary calculation.

[SlowwHand]

You earn in more ways than in a monetary sense. I agree. These money-grubbers won't.

Please give me your definition of "market failure". Mine is that the market solution leads to a Pareto-inefficient state. So far, yours appears to be "any time I think I know better than other people what is good for them".

I can think of several though the tragedy of the commons is probably one of the best well know. I don't see how that is directly linked to Pareto though as the commons get increasingly degraded it more then likely increases Pareto inefficiency. I'm judging that simply based on the wiki page though.

I think there's definitely an issue of supply and demand and then the reputation to actually do what is your speciality. It's how I rake it in. But I still agree, although the money is nice, it's security and a nice roof over my head. I am not remotely extravagant otherwise and could manage on a fraction of the money I earn. Life is about having fun and the people and friendships, not pure, hard cash. However if you can get lots of cash without compromising the other things, then why not?

[Provost Harrison]

And who cares about burrito efficiency or whatever?

[a.kitman]

why are you sucking this idiot's dick?

hoho you should probly read my entire post.

How about you take the fraction, and I take the rest?

[Provost Harrison]

Hey, good idea!

Oh, wait

[Lorizael]

Worth a shot.

[Provost Harrison]

You can't blame a man for trying.

...but I will do anyway

[Provost Harrison]

thanx for share. good job.

Yeah, love you long time too...

To Whom It May Concern:

It has come to my attention that you may have recently received the attached resignation letter from one [name omitted in posted version], who has been bragging a great deal about it on an internet forum thread readable at http://apolyton.net/showthread.php/196002-Why-is-it-so-hard-to-be-a-part-time-bank-teller-(or-to-get-any-job), which is where this came to my attention.

I simply felt compelled to give you the consolation that many of us here take your side and appreciate all that you do. I and many here value your culinary skills and prompt customer service far more than anything Mr. [name omitted in posted version] can hope to accomplish in a third try at the Marines, where he no doubt would be shuffled to an inconsequential position. From all that I've read, you may rest assured that his impugning your hard work to satisfy your customers and support your families can be considered a compliment merely by virtue of it coming from him.

Again, thank you for all of your honorable service to our community.
