    Actually, I’d be happy to keep working if it means that everybody on earth gets a decent standard of living.

      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.

          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.

      I’m with you on this.

      If we can meet the housing, food, and medical needs of everyone, then that would be sufficient.
