  And yet, we actually have the capacity now to provide for everyone’s needs without working anyone to death.

  So why don’t we?

      So you agree your comment is irrelevant?

        In this case all comments are irrelevant? What makes you think the comment I commented on is relevant, but mine isn’t? What’s the difference?

        If one comment is irrelevant, it’s yours, because it didn’t add any thought or value to the topic.

  Work has never been so unstressful, if you look back at the history of mankind.

  I agree that it was even worse before. Although, I’m a little puzzled as to what point is being made. Are you agreeing with me or not? I can’t tell.

  Industrialization killed workers with 60 hour shifts in unsafe environments. Middle ages made you work 18 hours a day once you were 7 and made you starve if the harvest was bad. In the stone age your family died from hunger after you got killed on the hunt.

  Life expectancy was never as high as today.

  Looking back at what I wrote, what point is all this agreeing with or refuting?

  To me, it seems like you’re arguing that the passage of time is a good thing. I don’t remember saying that the passage of time wasn’t good.

    Do I have to agree or disagree? I just pointed out that work today isn’t worse than yesterday.

      You would have to define how you’re using “have to” here. I mean, I wouldn’t try to come and attack you for neither agreeing not disagreeing with a subject you still managed to have such strong a need to inject in.

      Partly because you might be bigger than me but mostly because I generally only see doing that as soemthing I strongly frown upon, in even the most severe of cases. I’m not particularly keen on forcing people to do anything, in fact.

      Really, though only you can answer that question.

      I’m glad we agree that our lives are probably better now than they for the people who literally had to live in caves, thousands of years ago, though. Thank you for including that important point.

  You are being downvoted by people who didn’t read all of your comment, you are right, job has never being so unstressful but unstressful ≠ happy,
