We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living.

134. there is lots to be done

animals that need to be rescued, pets that need to be visited and dogs need to be walked at shelters, brush that needs to be cleared away in fire zones before the fires happen,old people that are in nursing homes that never get visited by family would love some company, soup kitchens that operate on shoestring budgets and the same volunteers over and over that could use some help, trash the littering our beaches that needs to be picked up, I could go on but I think you get the idea.

I am all for people working for the community in ways that don't necessarily compensate financially, but I have no respect for somebody who wants to sit around and play video games all day or be a ski bum when there were so many people and animals in need of help. Everyone deserves time off and playtime, but to live your life that way is just a waste imo and people should not be paid to waste their lives. They should be paid if they do meaningful work, whether or not that work has been traditionally compensated in the past by the "free-market ". if they want to sit around and go goof off all day, they can be responsible for their own upkeep.
