Why? Why should we all have to work just to survive? Productivity is so immensely high with computers and machines that work is not a requirement for life or society like it once was. A smaller percentage of the population can work than before for the same overall output.
Work should improve your life. You put something in, you get something out (pay). Now you can go and improve your life somehow by buying goods and/or services. But needing to work just for the bare basics of food and shelter is ridiculous in the modern age. We’re a rich country, we should be able to afford to feed and home our population with ease and yet constantly in political discourse there’s talk of benefits “scroungers” “stealing” money they “don’t deserve”, usually for pitifully small amounts of money as well.
Yes. Or rather why is everyone working such ridiculously long hours when everyone could work less than ten a week and still produce enough for everyone to have more than enough to thrive?

where do you think your food comes from? Who build the room you sleep in?
with that being said, our labour is severely abused by the owner class as we barely get enough out of it to pay the bills.
Your debt to society is repaid very quickly while working a 40hr a week job
Every cost a regular person incurrs on society is paid back with roughly working 1/5th-1/4th of their life.
Instead we work until death and kids today will not be allowed to retire
Fuck you for being so easy to control
read my body of work, champ ;)
You’re missing the forest for the trees. Read the first paragraph again
P.S. my food generally comes from my garden…
how did you acquire land to grow the said food?
Land is free, it literally costs nothing to let someone live on land. We make it unaffordable
Why are we extorted for the land we need to live on?
I know you were conditioned to think this way but it’s a malicious way to think
the strategy of the commons, me man…
good luck getting any land now unless you got that thing called das kapital.
“Why can’t I just sit at home and do nothing and get taxpayers to fund my laziness?”
Fuck you, strawman-moron.
Congratulations on sucking boot so hard it makes people groan with sadness and disdain.
Yes, in the socialist utopia, money clouds would rain cash on us all and no one would have to contribute anything to society.
No worries, you’re already useless and have been, I believe your
trashbag of afather already demonstrated thisYes. Or rather why is everyone working such ridiculously long hours when everyone could work less than ten a week and still produce enough for everyone to have more than enough to thrive?
