Why is everyone concerned with making humans work? We already have technology to where one human's work can feed, clothe, and house a hundred more, right? So, pay the one human twice as much, as an incentive, and then give a free ride to ninety-nine more. We don't need everyone to be at work all their life.
Because boomers want younger people to suffer like they did. Up until them, every generation had it better than their parents, but boomers are just so fucking selfish that they couldn't stand to see their children do better than them.

My aunt likes to talk about how she only made 4 dollars an hour making boat seats, so why are people unhappy with 7 something now. She was making good money for the time 40 years ago, but nothing matters to her anyways.
Our economy isn't based on providing goods or services, it's based on the theft of economic output. Without workers providing goods and services for stockholders to steal economic value from, everything about our system collapses.
(To be clear, I'd like to watch it collapse.)
