We Shouldn’t Have to Work This Hard
Poorer Americans work long hours to afford basic necessities. Richer Americans work long hours in pursuit of “the good life” that’s perpetually just beyond their grasp. All of this tedious work is a waste of our precious time and resources.

The system would require each worker to contribute just fifteen hours of labor per week
The irony of this whole thing is that fifteen hours of actual work isn't that far from what I do in an average week, but I'm still here forty hours. And I work with my hands, in a skilled trade in an industrial facility; I can't even imagine how much time-wasting a lot of white collar people do.
Outside of shutdowns, I could easily work three days a week with no loss of productivity. But that's just not an option.
It's so infuriating.
The reward for doing your job efficiently is more more fucking work.
Learned that the hard way.
