He's right, if not for working at McDonalds to pay rent, what purpose would people have to live?

He's right, if not for working at McDonalds to pay rent, what purpose would people have to live?
- sk0g 6y agoWhen I take a month off work, towards the end I feel the need to be productive again, more than anything, even if the travels I'm doing are very exciting and satisfying. Maybe the timeframes would differ for people, but I doubt many people would enjoy not working on _something_, whatever that may be.
- mydongle 6y agoI'm not saying people would enjoy doing nothing. It's just sick and a sign of our society's decay where we think the height of the human spirit and purpose is to slave away at a food service job serving food to others who will ultimately suffer for it. Like WalterBright in another reply says, there's probably some small amount of old people who benefit from working these kinds of jobs. The problem is, it's not only old retirees/people working those jobs. But tons of smart, capable people who are forced to do them in order to pay rent to some faceless landlord vacationing in the Bahamas or some shit.
- WalterBright 6y agoOlder people often take jobs so they have a reason to get up in the morning and a purpose. It keeps them active and engaged in life. Retirees without jobs and no purpose tend to die earlier.
