      I don’t think the idea is that no one should work, but that no one should need to work.

      I picture a scenario where if you can’t work or you’re ok just getting by by lazing around all day that’s fine, but you only get enough for a home and some food. If you want more you gotta do something. This isn’t me though.

      Then if you’re a person who loves to work you can make all the money and get shit done and buy all the fancy stuff and live your life the way the want. That’s not me either.

      I’m somewhere in the middle. It’s not that I don’t want to work. I just want to work on something fulfilling, and having a boss sucks. I want to be able to work when I want and have time to get things done in my personal life. My days off are always working on some kind of personal project anyway so I’m not lazy, I just want my life to be mine.

      It’s about the freedom to choose. With all the advances in automation we should be able to have all these options available but the rich just hoard the money.
