I can understand that. 40+ hour workweeks are usually not needed, except in the case of engineering where you do need that amount of work and expertise.

The issue I have with this sort of thinking is everyone thinks everything can just be free. Even if we all suddenly have time to explore our creative outlets, everyone's stuff is going to be different. What if my skill is welding? Well, now you still need the welder factory, welding wire factory which also involves copper mining , and you have the argon gas supplier and bottling plants AND all the work and time to ship those things across the world. Same can be said for anything, unless you only want to code, then I suppose 1 laptop is all you'd feasibly need forever.

Unless you are saying we should eat dirt and live in communist blocs. Which I'm sure youre not, but people would have to literally give up everything to live like you are describing.

I dont think people realize how much work actually goes into sustaining this world and making things you like. You like books, and computers right? Well, without labor to produce and ship those, they won't exist. And its not possible to give every person working in a printing factory a house and a car and enough money to feed a family, even if we eat the rich.

It just seems anytime someone brings up this "I dont wanna work, we aren't made for working!!" It sounds like a 12 year olds take on the world, who has never worked a job and doesn't know how everything you use daily is made.

Please dont misconstrue that I support billionaire ownership of everything or their existence. I definitely do not. I dont support government ownership of things either. However, even if all of that was destroyed, someone has to be in charge, and people would still need to do work.

I would love to see an actual solution presented against my argument, but I never have. Its just tough to live, really.
