There has to be a better system than this.

    You simply work

    Because like it or not, you need resources to live. The entire bullshit fairytale (or furry tail) of working in your own vegetable garden to live off the lands IS STILL WORKING YOU LAZY ASSHOLE. And it will be working a lot harder for a lot less resources with a lot more risk when your crops fail

    Somehow you snowflake types (sorry, but yeahyou "I hate to work, hoe can I sit on my ass for the next 40 years and have someone take care of me?) somehow really roped yourself into the idea that you can live off air or something. No matter how you do It, no matter what system you implement, you still gotta work!

    I worked hard for what I got and I don’t have much, and that is fine, I have enough z I don’t needs a super yacht (nor should anyone, but that is a different story). Yes, I too sometimes have bad day and don’t want to get out of bed but then I just make myself, you know, have some discipline?

    You will NOT be able to get by doing nothing unless you leech off and abuse someone else, or an entire group. Until we have fully human like AI robots thatcan do all of our tasks, humans are required to do work, PERIOD.

    If nobody will work anymore and we all go to our fantasy vegetable garden then within months, medicine will run out, say goodbye to grandma and everyone that has diabetes or cancer or anything else, and that goodbye will be painful and excruciating. Then after a few months millions more will die from food shortages. Want to complain about it on the internet? Well fuck you because fuck you, because nobody is working anymore and the internet doesn’t work on magic, it runs on hard human labor, meaning that WE HAVE TO WORK.

    Putting it on “but evil corporations!!” is a bullshit excuse as well. Like it or not, you need them. Without those evil corporations, no more medication, no more food, no more electricity, no more life for the vast majority of all of us. That evil corporations should change for the better is something that nobody will deny but that is a different story BECAUSE YOU STILL HAVE TO WORK YOU ENTITLED ASSHOLE.

    So yes, you are lazy and yes, you need to get off your ass and stop leeching off your mommie. Sorry to be harsh about it but this post just really shows you are entitled and lazy and your post is just really insulting to those that try to live a responsible life and help others. Stop thinking about yourself, you’re not the only one here.

      Everyone knows work is necessary, what isn’t necessary is 40+ hours a week so some Capitalist can buy another yacht from exploitation of your labor.

      Nobody thinks work is unnecessary, this is a strawman.

      I don’t doubt that you’ve worked hard, but I do believe you should own your labor, not some Capitalist.

      Again, nobody is suggesting literally zero work. Just restructuring.

      More strawmanning, blah blah blah.

      No, we don’t need corporations owned by a few people, workers can own and run the Means of Production without someone exploiting their labor.

      No, this post shows that you’re incredibly out of touch with what people are advocating for.

      Tldr.

      There is something between doing absolutely nothing, and working your ass off to make someone else rich. Most of us want that middle ground.

      I don’t think the person who posted this was complaining about having to do work at all. They were complaining about how much work needs to be done and for how long you have to do it and for the fact that you can’t enjoy the reward at the end of it cause you’re too old to do stuff. Which are all valid complaints and at the end of the day comes down to greedy corporations trying to milk workers for every last penny of value they can get from them for as long as possible. Times have changed a lot since many of our norms about 40 hour work weeks and retirement ages were established, and since then workers are much more efficient. So I think it’s good to discuss changing these things to take some of those benefits from increased efficiency and give that value to the workers rather than just letting the corporations take it for their profits and investors.
