    At that point, why not just automate everything that can be, and let people persue more fulfilling work, for lux life? Money is really an arbitrary thing, survival isn’t dependent on it other than bad actors hoarding it and the power it affords. Beyond that, let people paint, cook, create clothing, transportation, pottery, tea rituals, whatever to fulfill higher level needs?

    Failing that, sure.

      Im all for full automation within a communist ideological framework that gives the fruit of this to the workers rather than putting them on the breadline.

      For what we have right now though, if it needs done it should be rewarding and it shouldnt be seen as a ‘lesser’ job that should only be done by the less desirable sects of society as it is at the moment.

      Without factories we dont have any goods, its the backbone of industry and should be seen as a high status job, as all jobs should.

        I don’t see it as lesser. I just see it as I described. Yes I could do it for a couple or three hours daily, but if it’s paying my necessary expenses at that level, it means it’s already unnecessary, unless I’m missing something.

          Oh yes no mistake here I get you don’t believe that, I was more referencing the person I was discussing in my OP - the attitude described is downstream of the class system of course.
