In 1776 years ago about 90% of the population were involved in farming. Today that number is under 2% and we have more food than we need to feed everyone. Working less does not mean producing less. It’s why we don’t mine coal by hand or haul goods on sledges.
The same way it went from 90% to 2% - automation, better land use, better pesticides and fertilizers. The same thing that happened with mining, logging, manufacturing, communications, and everything else since then.
But instead of working less - as was predicted by scientists as recently as the 1950s - we made up bullshit jobs to keep people busy, and layers and layers of management to monitor them, and entire industries of people who just skim money off of the economy.
And, yes, I also don’t want to work. But why should I have all the fun? And aren’t we all working so that we can eventually retire and not work? Let’s just collectively skip a step.
Then everyone just starves to death.

That 2% goes to 0% and we get food how?
Or did you mean you just don’t want to work? Because we had that system too, up until a different American war about 90 years later

I don’t expect you to get it, though.
