I feel like the only way to respond to that shit is with a simple, “Nobody has wanted to work ever.

If either: people had the option to get paid at their current rate but not have to do their current job at all anymore…or the opposite, that they were expected to keep working at their current job but were told they’d no longer receive any pay for it ever again…how many do you think would still keep working at that job?

Way less than 1%.

Because (very nearly) nobody wants to work. They want money, and the most common way of getting money is… you guess it…to work.

The whole point of employment is that you’re performing a task that nobody is going to just do for free because they like it…so whomever wants that task to be done has to offer an incentive to get people to do it instead of literally anything else.
