Anyone understanding work will never know the delight of being working. This happens only to the complex and misunderstood simple souls, the ones whom other people can understand, never feel a desire to be understood.Xavier_Onassis » 25 Apr 2023, 9:36 am » wrote: ↑ "Therefore we demand:

Fine! I agree! Now, let us define "work".
Is a house flipper working? What about a real estate developer?
Is not researching stock to make a wise investment not "work"?
Yeah, a bank lends you money and makes you pay interest. I agree than is clearly not "work".
But then you are abolishing the lending of money at interest.
Just like the Taliban have abolished it in Afghanistan.
What do you get when you abolish moneylending institutions?
You get loan sharks, who will charge 10% a month and foreclose if not paid.
