      I don’t know man, I like having food. Keeps me from dying. Water too now that I mention it.

          Well when the store loses its workers, itll close. When the trucker stops trucking, food won’t make it to the store. When the farmer doesn’t farm, there will be no food.

          This is not star trek, we are not post scarcity.

                Lmao you have zero idea how humans work. If you think it’s even plausible for all of society to sit and do nothing, you have no business being in this conversation - its clearly above your level.

                People are motivated by boredom, creativity, duty and care for society, more than they are by money. This is evidenced by… all of history. People worked before money was invented. Crazy, huh?
