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

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

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

My friend keeps begging for overtime since he works 35 hours a week and that's not enough for him to live off of since we work low skilled jobs

The economy has been so fucked for the past 15-20 years it's really sad

During the 50's and 60's all of the high paying jobs were low skill easy to get factory jobs

Now in days you have to be a fucking nerd or a math genius to get the high paying jobs which are in the tech industry

It's unfair for people like me who aren't really smart and prefer working physical jobs rather than tech jobs. All our jobs will eventually be gone due to robots and there will be another workers uprising

Fucking commies man

struggle is an essential part of life

even before we are born.

Not to mention that people always choose to take more free time the more money they have. *Real* wealth redistribution might make a lot of people happy for a while, but the nation's industry and infrastructure would soon grind to a halt and collapse.

Money and freedom do not buy happiness and fulfillment.
