   Any reasonable society would be seeking to eliminate jobs, nor create them

     @schratze "robots taking jobs" is used as a scare tactic, but not having a job would be a good thing if it weren't the owning class keeping all output of labor for themselves. we are just so conditioned under capitalism that we're expected to get angry at working less and not people hoarding benefits of efficiency

     @RadicalEdward @schratze

     There is plenty to do.

     I don't want to work, I want to help. What good is working to do something that can be done by a robot. Or a GMO. Or a bash script. Working often gets in the way of helping.

     The problem is never joblessness. The problem is either a scarcity of necessary resources, or an owning class using violence to withhold necessary resources from people who are unwilling or unable to work for them
