Do you honestly believe that this whole group of people is out there, kicking back, and content/happy about not having productive employment?
I mean, I'm sure there are some, but you really think that, let's say, a majority of the people you're painting with this brush are saying to themselves "yeah man, why get a job, it's not like I'm gonna starve to death"? What % of the poor would you say they are, ballpark? Honest question, or if you'd prefer, how else am I missing your point?
- yummyfajitas 17y agoI have no idea if they are content and happy. I never claimed that using productivity gains for leisure would make anyone happy, I just claimed it's possible to do without serious material suffering. But the fact that 80% of the poor are not even looking for a job suggests they are not that unhappy about lacking productive employment.
