    No one wants to toil.

    Work is unavoidable. And if I have a chance to work on my projects and my communities I am left feeling alive, valuable, and fulfilled.

    What these bosses and corporations want is for me to do their projects and work on their communities for as little as possible while being dehumanized.

    That is toil.

    And no one wants to fucking toil anymore. That much, I say, is true.

      Yeah, just wanted to say this. In almost all experiments with Universal Basic Income it turns out people don’t wanna scroll Tiktok 24/7 or whatever. Most people want to do thinks that we would call “work”. We just don’t wanna do them in this capitalist hellscape full of meaningless bullshit jobs.

    Any idea on any of these sources? It’d be great to be able to point to actual articles dating back more than a century when having a conversation/debate/argument about the “nobody wants to work” narrative
