Ah I thought they were talking about the border wall

2019-01-28 01:39:37 UTC  

I just dont think it's right to say nobody wants to work because that implies that people only get jobs for the money

2019-01-28 01:39:54 UTC  

I don't like to work

2019-01-28 01:39:56 UTC  

Obviously money is the biggest reason to get a job for most people but there's other reasons

2019-01-28 01:40:06 UTC  

if I could sit on my ass all day and play games instead I would

2019-01-28 01:40:09 UTC  

Really

2019-01-28 01:40:11 UTC  

I go to work because I need money

2019-01-28 01:40:12 UTC  

yeah

2019-01-28 01:40:13 UTC  

You'd probably get bored after a while

2019-01-28 01:40:18 UTC  

Probably

2019-01-28 01:40:19 UTC  

Sitting at home not talking to anyone or doing anything

2019-01-28 01:40:26 UTC  

I did the same thing, I hated working

2019-01-28 01:40:35 UTC  

I would still go out with friends and such

2019-01-28 01:40:42 UTC  

I had an entire summer off from work (I had a health issue)

2019-01-28 01:40:50 UTC  

And by the end of the summer I wanted to go back to working so badly

2019-01-28 01:41:00 UTC  

I was so bored and wanted to do something productive lol

2019-01-28 01:41:12 UTC  

But yea some people just do hate working but I think it's wrong for him to say "nobody likes working"

2019-01-28 01:41:28 UTC  

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

2019-01-28 01:41:37 UTC  

Your job gives you a purpose in life and a lot of people's social lives revolve around their job

2019-01-28 01:41:55 UTC  

That's why there's a lot of people who could retire if they want to, but still work because they love it

2019-01-28 01:42:05 UTC  

Money is far and away the reason people work as much as they do

2019-01-28 01:42:16 UTC  

A guy named Don who I work with retired 2 years ago

2019-01-28 01:42:21 UTC  

Command economies almost always fail

2019-01-28 01:42:22 UTC  

But came back to work again since he missed it so much

2019-01-28 01:42:35 UTC  

Even though he already has enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life

2019-01-28 01:42:41 UTC  

He isn't doing it for money he does it because he misses working

2019-01-28 01:42:55 UTC  

Because they fail to take into account needs and other things adequately

2019-01-28 01:43:01 UTC  

?

2019-01-28 01:43:05 UTC  

Sorry

2019-01-28 01:43:28 UTC  

Working can provide personal fulfillment but money is what brings people back to jobs they may not like but are important economically

2019-01-28 01:43:34 UTC  

Yeah exactly

2019-01-28 01:43:46 UTC  

Not everyone can do what they love and get what they need at the same time

2019-01-28 01:43:47 UTC  

Working becomes their life in a way

2019-01-28 01:44:19 UTC  

Now imo the current work week should be reduced

2019-01-28 01:44:33 UTC  

But that’s not a reason to get rid of the labor market entirely

2019-01-28 01:44:56 UTC  

Work week?

2019-01-28 01:44:59 UTC  

Why

2019-01-28 01:45:01 UTC  

What's wrong with it

2019-01-28 01:45:12 UTC  

40 hours a week isn't bad, 8 hours of work 8 hours of free time

2019-01-28 01:45:41 UTC  

If hours keep shortening people will have to rely on multiple jobs to live

2019-01-28 01:46:59 UTC  

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
