Think of it like a Star Trek esque utopia. A lot of people have jobs, but only to further themselves and grow as people. Noone has to take a job which takes all of their waking moments just so they don’t die if starvation.
Ok here’s my pitch: murder the top 5 billionaires and liquidate their assets. That’s 2.5 trillion. Everyone on earth gets like 300 bucks. Keep doing that until it evens out a bit. Also grow a vegetable garden.
Go work in an ER. The homeless are super susceptible to all kinds of diseases.
I doubt that in a society of abundance and equality, everyone would choose to live homeless.
Cool, soooo if we’re all no longer working, then who’s taking care of food production? Shelter? Medical care? Defense? Maintenance? Etc.
There is a happy medium… everyone not having jobs is not it. A lot of jobs are hard work but benefit society heavily.

Yea and star trek has replicators…let me know when those are available.
Where does the abundance come from if nobody is working?

Money’s worth comes from the ability to buy someon else’s work with it. If no one is working money is worthless.
Good, buy someone else’s work by trading for it with some of your own.
That’s already how the system works.
