Hm, well, I appreciate you pointing out that you agree with me, I got snippy in another response to you on a different comment chain.

I still don't think I've successfully explained this concept of changing the job-as-endless-labor to job-to-produce-specific-amount.

Have you ever gone out and built something for yourself, like a shed?

Yes, I love building things for myself and my friends, but I wouldn't want to do it as a low paying job. In fact, doing it as a job would give me less time and money to do it for myself and friends. For me, that is just hopping off one economic hamster wheel and onto another. My job is complex and hard enough as it is, doubling the required skills and cutting the time to learn them sounds horrible. I'm fully aware that sharing jobs might be more attractive for the guy shoveling asphalt 100% of the time

No worries, at least to me it seems like you are engaging in good faith, listening to answers, and responding to what people are saying instead of talking past them. I can live with a little snippiness as long as people are coherent.
