    They just have to get a real job too, like everyone else.

    Would you mind expanding on what a “real” vs “fake” job is? I disagree with the premise entirely but i am not taking you with a loaded question, i am honestly curious about what that means to you (and by extension what other people who use that term might mean)

      Jobs that are necessary for the survival of our species.

      Jobs that people don’t do for fun. They do it because it needs to get done.

      People will still act even if they don’t get paid for it. Will they, deliver food just for the fun of it? No, I didn’t think so.

        So like, North Korea. Just a bunch of farmers and the military. I’d rather live in a world with joy and innovation.

        There’s no such thing as a job necessary for the survival of the human race. The only thing jobs protect is the economic system, which doesn’t care about the human race.
