Why do people want to generate jobs? I'd rather generate a jobless utopia where we all do art.

Because today the options are "jobs exist" or "people starve in the street".

Starvation is not a likely outcome from job loss in the western world.

homelessness and hunger is a real danger in the west. I got homeless in 2025... Extremely hard to get out.

Hate to break it to you but the average guy that does manual labour would more likely become a criminal than a musician if you deleted his job.

What's that saying about idle hands.

Jobs root people to their communities and give them purpose in life.
