Yeah, but if people only worked essential jobs, and not in stupid competitive ways that only make the owners of some of those companies rich, you could get by with much less work. Think about how wasteful industrial production is, and how many office building skyscrapers and malls are being built just for investors’ sakes that are not needed, and often lay empty.
If people only built what is actually needed for good lives, and not for greed, so much manpower would be freed up. Especially if they did it in sustainable ways that wouldn’t require everything being torn down or renewed again really soon.
Also, imagine crypto shitcoin peddlers being forced to do useful work like plumbing. There are so many people just getting paid for downright evil or at least useless shit.
Yeah generally.
But if folks are unmotivated for the work they are forced to do, then you get shit work.
If people.just chase profit, you get what we have now.
There’s no way we are maintaining the standards of modernity on 3h a day where folks are dictated by some outside force into what labor is most needed
We chase money because this equates to goods and services. Well there’s a huge excess of money being produced and horded.
This excess production is a result of … work (plus machinery, efficiency improvements etc).
Obviously. That was the edit “what we have now” I referred to.
I’m not idealizing the current system, I’m saying 3h of “whatever needs to be done” isn’t going to keep us anywhere near a western standard of living
