How will society function without jobs?

And it must be repeated: heavy labor needs to be better distributed. Even 2 more hours a day is hard on the body, even if you get another full day of recuperation. Being expected to be on one's feet for nearly half a day is killer on the body, and if's a big reason I turned down work at distribution centers offering “high wages for 10 hour shifts.”
It depends on what you're doing but generally yes. Your entire operation shouldn't hinge on one guy doing everything. Share the load. As long as they aren't royally fucking me and sticking me with everything, and I'm getting good hours and enough off time, I'm happy.
 
As a guy in the physical labor market, the 5 day, 40 hour work week makes sense for  most jobs in the industry. It allows you to keep pace with demand if you're in a factory while still allowing for weekends off, you qualify for full time benifits, and even if you arent in a factory, say a welding shop that makes custom cars with a small crew, you aren't looked at as a slacker among your peers. 4 day work weeks may work for some sectors with heavy automation like tech and buisness, not industrial. Things need to be made.
It also means three shifts fit in the day. Good luck trying to come up with a roster to run your lines 24/7 with anything other than 8 hour shifts.

The only exception I know to that is aviation, and they often run (2) 12 hour shifts. 3 shifts is preferable but not always an option due to staffing or whatever.

Or you could do four 6-hour shifts/six four-hour shifts if you’re primarily staffed by part-timers

TL;DR Boomers used to make $102 an hour as minimum wage for unskilled labor. The sad truth is, at least in the US, society just isn't that prosperous anymore
Real easy for the US to dominate the global market when pretty much every competitive nation on the planet was devastated by WWII.

I think an argument can be made that the baby boomer generation experienced a completely unnatural bubble of prosperity that could never last unless WWII just kept repeating, with the same results.
 
let me introduce you to 'tobotic'.
I completely forgot I doxed this guy last year (happy almost dox anniversary)

Twitter user reddit_lies posted an imgur album with a bunch of DMs from Merari, turns out me exposing tobotic as a my little pony child rape fanfic writer got him removed from the cabal

Listen I hate unions, but you have to work with them sometimes, that's welding in a nutshell. Keep the shit talking behind a user name and a burner email faggot. Feel MY pain. Here is where I can vent, not on Facebook tard.
 
That doesn't make any sense. Why would they be terrified of a bunch of NEET shutins that don't vote?
They absolutely vote. The Kung Flu normalized permanent ID-less mail-in-voting and every redditor with anxiety/autism/chronic depression will take advantage of it. Mix that with your average millennial and zoomer having no real opinions aside from what is plumbed into them every day on TikTok/Google News/Reddit and other globohomo propaganda outlets, and you can control who they vote for, their thoughts, their very hopes and dreams.

That said, I don't think it would be a disaster for the ol' US of A to focus just a little on workers instead of the endless profit death march for boomer pensions and RVs.

I guess a negative contribution is still a contribution.

If you're not a "contributing member of society" you're a parasitic leech on everyone else. Why should anyone have "empathy" for you when you treat absolutely everyone else with utter contempt? Go fuck yourself and die.

No no, she's clearly trans and neurodivergent and disabled, therefore she is entitled to free housing, food, medical care, and video games.
 
I was inspired to check the sub from a comment in the reddit thread and this is literally the most recent post:

Yes faggot redditor, let me take money away from my family so that you can stay home all day and write haikus about why all white people should die. In exchange you can use your haiku money to get a tattoo and mutilate your genitals. Sounds like a good trade to me.
