If it makes you feel better…
Actually, I’d be happy to keep working if it means that everybody on earth gets a decent standard of living.
I’m with you on this.
If we can meet the housing, food, and medical needs of everyone, then that would be sufficient.
Absolutely agree. I don’t have any urge to stop working. But 40 h / 5 days a week is too much. Life is too fucking short especially given how productivity has skyrocketed yet wages have barely kept up.
Obligatory fuck Ronald Reagan and the Republican party.
Sure. We can do both. Make sure everybody has a bearable workload and make sure everybody has enough.
Everything that needs to be done for society to maintain itself can be done if everyone works 20 hrs a week. The rest is just to allow some other people luxury lifestyles.
Now we know the real reason why you can’t buy a hilux in america.

Shitpost? This is just unadulterated truth
Money is not finite. Quit acting like it is gold bullion. It’s not. Whatever amount someone aquires has zero effect on your pile. This argument reeks of grade 2 math.
And people say memeing is not an artform
I want to both upvote and downvote this at the same time. So I will do neither, I will just state my opinion…
This is not a shitpost, this is fact.
Here. Take a booby prize
I dunno who the face is on the accelerator pedal, but it looks like someone loved riding their clutch…
…but I’m guessing you know who spongebob is?
Isn’t he that dude that wears square pants?
Fuck I dunno, I smoked too many sponges today…
Van Clutch
Van Stop
Van Gogh (famous 19th century artist)
Van accelerator?
Van gas
P.s. I’m not American.
Agreed.
Billionaires should pay everyone for stolen time, potential contributions to better world living. They currently pay only toxicity, diminish quality of life on Earth.
Billionaires should not exist at all. I saw a post saying that once you earn $999.999.999 dollars you get a trophy saying “I won capitalism” and everything else you earn goes to taxes. We should absolutely do that
This except we should expand it by saying something like $1b net worth, $100m cash, or $10m income—whichever comes first.
It’s literally not a fact. Net worth is a price tag, not an amount of cash.
We have reached the point where this is shitposting. I feel that we have failed as a species.
You see how that would be bad for the economy, right? Good for individual workers, but bad for consumers since there’s no longer a person doing some service, like I don’t know, medical care. I fell off the bike in Canada and spent 7 hours covered in blood before a nurse saw me and bandaged me up.
As an American I also had to pay $1000 USD for this (insurance will eventually refund this to me, hopefully)
I’m Canadian, and I dont mind our healthcare system one bit. You only had to pay because you were American.
It’s far from a perfect system, but at least I’m not riddled in medical debt, or have to financially plan to have my wife deliver a kid.
It’s not about paying, my insurance will get me back. It’s about the wait time in the emergency room. If you’re not dying they never see you until early in the morning
They won’t sell the Hilux in the US because it’s too easy to turn into a technical. Nobody out here with a Tacoma technical
Bunch of yeehawdists rolling around in Hiluxes would be sub-optimal
I don’t mind working when it’s either something I enjoy doing and would do without it being a job, or if I can see it tangibly improving something or someone by providing something other people (or myself) need.
If all I see is the boss getting richer while I am doing something I literally would only do because I am being paid to do it, fuck that job.
Forget not working. It’s not even that I want to not work. I just want to not struggle to survive. I don’t want to have to work a gruelling 40 hours every goddamn week. I want to have the time to pursue other means of work, to contribute to society as a whole, not just to one, single company! Yeah, being able to have more time off would be great, but I don’t want to not work, I want to be able to contribute in my own ways too. And I can’t do that when I’m working 40 hours and still living fucking paycheck to paycheck.
Is there any reason why they should keep more money than they ever can spend?
And at what cost to the climate/resources did they get this rich? Compare that to what they have done for the climate/resource.
I am just against what they are allowed to do with this money. How many airplanes full with fules can they blow up just for fun? Want to find fastest way to blow it up. Is it fair that they can ignore the climate impact completely? Just do what ever bad stuff they want to.
Is that a thing? Blowing up fully-fuelled airplanes just for fun?
Almost. Look at spaceX and their Rockets.
I am just saying that they are allowed make very heavy impact to the climate compared a normal person. Just take their jet plan or helicopter wherever they go is allowed.
