    Right now you can contribute to society by doing work that matters which does not always require individual expenses.

    For example bar none the single most important job in any developed society is water purification. Working at the water utility is something you can do that benefits everyone and has no cost to yourself.

    The second most critical task is waste management which requires no money from the worker either.

    Im not being pedantic here. The claim you have to be wealthy to contribute is false

      Did you read my comment properly

      Some people may enjoy waste management or water purification but not all people do

      People also have to lay for the cost of transport, bills, taxes, food, shelter, etc

      People want to contribute to society in ways which they enjoy and tasks like water purification and waste management can be largely automated with notifications sent out to people overseeing the automation if there’s an issue

        Lol, you think we can completely automate water systems and trash collection? What planet do you live on because those have NEVER been automated anywhere.

        I think you live in a dreamworld where people can just do whatever task fulfills them and all the unpleasant jobs are magically taken care of.

          Do you think waste management is only the garbage people who come to collect your bin rubbish every week

          I think those garbage people need to come see you more often because it’s clear you’re making trash here in the comment section by arguing I’m bad faith

            No I don’t think waste management is just picking up trash. Nothing in my comment suggests that I think that way.

            I did not say you made abad faith argument as I suspect you do believe these things can be automated. What I DID say was that your vision of how societies could function is unrealistic and ignorant of how things actually work. That is different than bad faith.
