Somehow all of what we got just magically creates itself if the government is paying people?

Houses will build themselves!

Food will magically fill your fridge!

Can we get over the old wives tales?

Scientifically people will work to support biological survival.

What they don’t want is a job for another human who has nothing more than artificial political advantage keeping them from real work.

They don’t want a job that elevates Bezos and Gates to ungodly levels of wealth, while their friends and family struggle to pay rent and buy insulin.

Our current economic reality has nothing to do with willingness to work.

It’s an emotional Ponzi scheme, properly groomed for TV and emotional manipulation: “Chase the dream.”

People will work to survive. They won’t work to help aristocrats who don’t work thrive.

Stop coddling the minority and the majority will snap to.
