    I’m a gen x, and I don’t want to work. I mean really, who does? Who would rather work than spend time with their family and/or see the world? I work because I have to to survive.

      People want to work if:

      • it is meaningful to them
      • their work is a mean to do something meaningful to them.

      If you work to survive, there is no prospect to advance or do something fun/meaningful, then why the fuck should people want to work?

      And Ramsey is kidding himself, is work is not that hard. So it’s fucking rich coming from someone that peddle his shit to make money.

        “want to work”? that’s only for actual humans, you are a parasite leaching off the work of the people who are actually productive, the shareholders, and if they all go hide in a secret valley gated community the world will collapse as they invent a perpetomobile outside the “laws of nature” imposed by the government

        (everything up to the perpetomobile is actually held beliefs among these people, just the laws of nature being enforced by the government is a bit of a gag)

      I love working! … when I’m self-employed. Knowing that what I’m doing is likely to actually make a difference for someone other than a rich fuck is incredibly motivating.
