Ah I thought they were talking about the border wall
I just dont think it's right to say nobody wants to work because that implies that people only get jobs for the money
I don't like to work
Obviously money is the biggest reason to get a job for most people but there's other reasons
if I could sit on my ass all day and play games instead I would
Really
I go to work because I need money
yeah
You'd probably get bored after a while
Probably
Sitting at home not talking to anyone or doing anything
I did the same thing, I hated working
I would still go out with friends and such
I had an entire summer off from work (I had a health issue)
And by the end of the summer I wanted to go back to working so badly
I was so bored and wanted to do something productive lol
But yea some people just do hate working but I think it's wrong for him to say "nobody likes working"
well if someone came up to me and said hey, i'll give you your yearly wage for free and you never have to work again I would do it
Your job gives you a purpose in life and a lot of people's social lives revolve around their job
That's why there's a lot of people who could retire if they want to, but still work because they love it
A guy named Don who I work with retired 2 years ago
Command economies almost always fail
But came back to work again since he missed it so much
Even though he already has enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life
He isn't doing it for money he does it because he misses working
Because they fail to take into account needs and other things adequately
?
Sorry
Working can provide personal fulfillment but money is what brings people back to jobs they may not like but are important economically
Yeah exactly
Not everyone can do what they love and get what they need at the same time
Working becomes their life in a way
Now imo the current work week should be reduced
But that’s not a reason to get rid of the labor market entirely
Work week?
Why
What's wrong with it
40 hours a week isn't bad, 8 hours of work 8 hours of free time
If hours keep shortening people will have to rely on multiple jobs to live
Lower income people who work jobs that pay an hourly rate often try to get as many hours as possible since the more hours = the more money, and since they aren't getting paid a lot and need as much as they can get
