It's absolutely wild that these anti work types actually believe that food just magically spawns in your fridge.
Electricity? Magic lightning from a wall socket! You don't have to pay for anything, you don't have to work, nobody has to do anything productive, everything just magically gets done because we live in heaven and God provides plentiful. Break a bone? You don't need hospitals where humans have to gasp work as a doctor and be all responsible and shit, that just heals with magic!
We don't need anyone to do real jobs, we don't need anyone to be responsible or care, we don't need anyone to even try, because in this awesome world everything is resolved automatically with magic!
Get your collective heads out of your asses
Wow what a lazy argument with no point.
Have you ever actually thought about how much your existence incurs?
I have.
It would take less than 16hrs of labor per week to make sure everyone has access to all human needs and a reasonable amount of human wants.
The other 24hrs a week I waste at work are just to make sure my employer makes 10,000x what I do for not working.
If you cared about people being lazy you would support redistributing the excess wealth of the lazy rich
Er, based on what? Because infrastructure is difficult, complex, and fantastically expensive.
What level of medical care does this estimate involve? Modern hospitals require massive amounts of labor to keep operational, especially if you account for all the external inputs (e.g. consumables like IV bags and exam gloves and lab analysis equipment).
