In our civilized societies we are rich. Why then are the many poor? Why this painful drudgery for the masses? Why, even to the best-paid workman, this uncertainty for the morrow, in the midst of all the wealth inherited from the past, and in spite of the powerful means of production, which could ensure comfort to all, in return for a few hours daily toil? - Peter Kropotkin (1892)
This is a part-time dog walker take. Be pro-worker, not anti-work. A lot of workers should be better paid, better treated, safer. But if you want to enjoy the labor all at once of construction workers, electricians, farmers, bakers, miners, hell just imagine how many people are in the production chain for your toilet paper? You should still expect to work hard.
Work has always been necessary. Working for the profit of billionaires is relatively new in human history.
