  That sounds like a you problem, not an our problem! 😎

  What you could do to really piss your neighbour off is to help everyone else get bigger boats so that your neighbour gets so pissed off and sells the boat because they can’t afford a bigger boat.

  If the neighbour buys a bigger boat, just keep upgrading everyone else’s boat until the neighbour runs out of money and sells it.

  Now where do I find the post where I can suggest someone buys me a M4 Mac mini so I can run AI locally and try and setup a business so I can get rich and join the boat club before I miss out on the fun? 🤔

  There’s so many jobs that people don’t enjoy but are necessary.

  I take it you asked all 7 (or whatever) billion then?

  Nobody enjoys working in the middle of an australian desert at 40°C in a lithium mine.

  Who says they’d need to? You talk like someone would need to do that because right now capitalism demands more production!

  Nobody enjoys collecting your stinking trash. Nobody enjoys sitting in a store for 8 hours a day, scanning groceries.

  Again, if we didn’t produce so much garbage, products with layer upon layer of plastic, we’d make glass and clay pots and grow, make and reuse locally making less garbage all the way but then in the 90s you had to collect bin bags off the street, now its all wheelie bins, if my health allowed I would happily go round collecting rubbish.

  Also I’ve had issues with drains in the past and when I asked them about the job, they actually enjoyed the challenge. So I think you’re confusing people who do a job because too much demand means people doing jobs for the money rather than less demand would actually mean people wouldn’t even need a set job. Feel like drains on Monday, go for it. Had enough and feel like helping someone tin food on Tuesday, go for it.

  Look at Animals, how many animals work 2 jobs just to survive?

  Nobody enjoys working in a warehouse for 8 hours.

  Another thing thats only a thing because capitalism demands we keep producing more and more shit. That washing machine that used to last 10 years now breaks after the warranty because some riches want more money and power!

  It amazes me how blinded people are to a capitalist free world. Look at the waste now, the plastic pollution and then look carefully at the next package you buy and ask “does this really need ‘this’ much packaging? Do i care if this new spade I bought with all its shiny cardboard and plastic protection, arrived with a scratch? But even if the TV was scratched, does it really matter so long as it worked as intended?

  But then I have no kids of my own and every year I feel better not having brought kids into this mess because unless you’re born into money now there is very little to offer kids in the near future right. 😕

  I mean, thats easy, I don’t have, or care to own a money pit that I only use once a year, i mean boat! 😎

  Unless you count 3D printed benchy… and even then if you scaled your benchy up then it’s bigger than mine!

  This is how you tell rich people have some serious mental health issue.

  Decent people would rather a world where people worked because they enjoy that type of work rather than being forced to do it because they need money to live.

  If you removed money, imagine where we’d all be as a society without the toxicity of money, wars and hate! :(

  Where did this ‘never wash your jeans!’ mentality come from?

  The same place all religious and other propaganda comes from. Plus it’s useful to spot the gullible and easily led people so you can avoid them to save your sanity!

  I mean, it says on the package.

  You need heat, so fly to the nearest sun and install it on the hottest part. Just position carefully so you don’t cause the sun to spin slower and cause a cooldown effect as that’ll cause it to stop working!
