    Temporarily embarrassed millionaire syndrome. "I can't vote against what the rich people want, because what if I become rich some day?" Completely missing that they, in the course of their entire lives, will not make as much as what most of the rich assholes of the world make in a day/hour/minute/second.

    EAT THE RICH.

    Basic services should all be free to any human.

    Yeah, the spirit of your comment i agree with, but not the letter.

    Nothing should be completely free, because nothing is free. Water needs processing, electricity needs a grid, sewage needs treatment, etc.

    Basic things should be affordable for all: housing, water, electricity, internet, food etc.

    But "free" creates incentives to be careless with resources. Which is counterproductive to making sure they are available for all at affordable prices.

    Hard to believe people work sixty hours. Got a decent living over here in Europe and am currently reducing from 40 to 35, just because.

    Because every man-hour freed by automation is a man-hour of opportunity to exploit and profit elsewhere.

    Always remember the dishwasher and why it was invented. Then apply that to EVERYTHING man-made. It's alway to save time, for someone who is not you.

    Because inequality creates incentive. The bigger the difference between the bulk of the society and the top percentages of earners the more people are willing to risk to reach the top. That's why there are more successful startups in the US than in Scandinavia.

    It's a global rat race and the US is "winning".
