    No, I work, because stuff costs labor.

      The people in this picture worked too, then the system collapsed due to rampant financial speculation and they were made destitute. Along with hundreds and thousands of others. People literally starved to death during this time.

      If your response to the idea that perhaps things could be better for the people who work and contribute labour for your stuff is “well if you don’t like it, go live in the wilderness”, you suck.

        Go farming. Grow your own food. Build your own house. Vote for a government that provides social services. Forage. Barter. Get a different job.

        There’s like a thousand solutions.

          Sorry, just go farming and build your own house? Do you think those things don’t have significant upfront costs that would be a barrier to people in precarious conditions?

          This is not a serious argument, it’s completely detached from the actual barriers people face in reality

            Really, those things have cost? Seriously? No way!

            Next thing you’re going to tell me is that the people who already incurred in those costs (farmers, construction workers) want to earn money to cover those costs and their labor!!

            What a scandal!

              you seem to lack critical thinking. This type of anecdotal “wisdom” you’ve adopted merely allows you to dismiss the true nuances of undertaking anything you’ve commented. You know more often than not, things are more complicated than a casual glance would suggest.

                Yes, it’s super complicated “people expect compensation for labor”. It’s PhD stuff.

                  me

                  your view lacks nuance and is a vast oversimplification

                  you

                  oversimplifies again, to hilarity

                  moron, confirmed
