    Because getting food from your own garden is cute but absurdly unsustainable for 8 billion people in this world?

    Like it or not, factories and large companies are the reason that 8 billion people can love on this planet. Granted, said companies can be quite abusive and a lot of rules are still in place allowing this abuse, but we’re getting better at it, ymmv per country. Either way, abuse is not as bad today as it was 100 years ago or even 50 years ago. If automation and AI continue their current course, we’ll all be working 2-3 day weeks soon as well.

    Either way, I get the point, I’m just saying don’t swing too far in the other direction either.

      Just an example, take caring for my kids or decorating my house or even working out if you don’t like that one. What do you mean by “the other direction”?

        I’m sorry, I don’t understand. You listed child care, and hobbies. What havr those to do with work?

        The other direction being this antiwork thing which is highly unrealistic and in reality just a bunch of lazy guys complain about having to actually do work, like everyone else, thinking that somehow magically the world would be so much better if everyone dat on their fat ass
