Heh, they thought supply and demand only worked one way...

I was surprised.
Oh, I want to work, I LOVE work, work defines me as a person, without work, what would I even be? Without work, life could not possibly have any meaning or point. Everybody loves to work, that's why people never complain about it, and forfeit their vacations, and feel miserable when they relax at home doing whatever they want!
Fuck capitalism, it has brainwashed the planet to the point that people have become incapable of even imagining a better, freer, more equitable society, like capitalism is the pinnacle of civilization- no room for improvement, this is as good as it gets, humankind is too stupid to come up with anything better, so just learn to love your servitude, smile, and shut up.
Propaganda works.
Just like older people complaining about the new geration since at least ancient Greece.
These whippersnappers nowadays can't even skin their prey with their fingers and nails like our forefathers did. All of them are obsessed with these ridiculously looking, flat rocks. They are just getting soft - I think we're witnessing the last decline of humanity.
Most people like to work. Few want a job. This is not hard.
Most people have been conditioned into believing they want and need work. It's pure rationalization, or Stockholm syndrome.
I think you're using the word "work" here to mean what I'm intentionally calling "job". Maybe not, but if you are, then I agree with you.
Most people want to produce things of value (for some personally held meaning of value) and to do things that matter to others or to be of service. It's this sense of "work" that I mean. If we stripped away all the conditioning that I infer you mean, I believe this sense of wanting to work would remain for those who aren't already burned out or depressed.
But yes, there is certainly some religious and irreligious indoctrination to believe in toil as a virtue. I don't buy it.
All you have to do to understand this is replace work with either exploited or worked to death and it all makes sense.
No - no one wants to to YOUR job for your terrible shitty pay.
Unemployment is at an extremely low rate. If you don't have workers, your labor budget is too low.
We should own the phrase, chant it, transfer its power to us. Nobody wants to work, it's time for reform. UBI, tax the rich, stem the capitalists hemorrhaging our quality of life for the sake of profit. We are all humans, let's act like it
—Socrates
No one has ever wanted to work. One of humanity's oldest stories is about two freeloaders getting unhappily kicked out of paradise and forced to start getting their food "by the sweat of [their] brow."
And since no one has ever wanted to work... you have to pay them to do it!
Work will set you free.
Not unlike how the chickenhawks tell us that every war has to be fought or it'll mean WW3.
🡒I🡐 don't want to work anymore.
It's almost 5, I'm going home...
