    Working less is a great ideal for humanity.

    Americans have this thing that their job defines them but we worked less than we did before, let’s keep going.

      Except the gains technology and automation bring are rarely evenly distributed in society. Just compare how productive a worker is today and how much we make compared to 50 years ago.

        We make a lot more. Improvements are good.

        You think people should be taxed more, vote for politicians trying to tax rich people more.

      1 Generally people want to work, people don’t want to be exploited by capitolists for a capitolist society where they barely make rent humans are generally workers. 2. This isn’t working less, this isn’t productivity improvement. This is less humanity in art and all just so employers don’t need to spend money on workers.

        Nothing is stopping anyone working for works sake. Personal I think that’s a waste of time but people are free to do what they want.

        Yes it is. It’s the same as the printing press, or the electric switchboard, computers, cars, containerisation, 3d rendering verse drawing. Work used to be done by humans now the labour had been replaced to make something better quality, for a lower price with less workers.
