You make it sound like a game of musical chairs. The issue isn't really whether there's "room," it's that not everyone is equally smart/educated/socially placed.
Strictly speaking, yes, if all the kids wanted to be doctors, not everyone could be. But if they were all equally well educated, intelligent and socially placed, then today's high paying jobs would pay significantly less relative to menial labor than they do now, simply because they would be more interesting, and menial labor would be boring. So the kids wouldn't "get to" be doctors, but they'd get payed enough to make up for the disappointment (and keep them from switching to something more interesting). Which would be a hell of a lot, in that (totally ridiculous) scenario.
The only time my desktop reboots is when the power goes out, or about once a month (I live in Lawrence, KS). I imagine most linux desktops are the same, except for those freaks who play windows games.
If your sister could realize that free (and higher quality) is better than $300 (and lower quality), she could get the penetration she needs to hit a tipping point.

What a fucking dumbass. Stop helping him, it's not worth your time.

The irony in the song was that nothing mentioned was ironic! Pretty clever, in a canadian sort of way.

I'm with you on the rest of it though.

They probably reboot a lot.
I can tell you're tough by the way you observe that he calls people Chief.
In that way it is similar to being a middle-class black person at a white-collar job.
