    Thats not true at all. Much of the work humans need to survive still requires humans.

    The fact is that people aren’t going to work and getting paid by businesses that produce products nobody wants.

    You are overthinking about a meme. There is nothing stopping you and 3 people from having a picnic in the park. I could do it every week. Someone unemployed getting the benefit could do this every week. Thinking that the current economic system is preventing people from this is insane.

      A combine can do hundreds of hours of labour work in an hour. We still have to produce the same amount of crops.

      Humanity went from 99% of the population working in farming to just 2% because of advancements in farming technology. We literally only need 2 people every 100 to grow enough food to feed everyone.

      That’s why not everyone needs to work.

      We have an over production problem. Companies still manage to keep prices high by employing artificial scarcity where they tell us they only have limited quantity when in reality they have an abundance of it. Supermarkets literally throw away perfectly good food everyday instead of giving it to poor people to keep the prices high.
