      Also it’s crazy to think that someone who has that much money works harder (proportionally to the amount they make) than someone who can’t even take a piss break without fear of being fired.

      (sorry for the 2 deleted comments, my client bugged out big time)

      so “people won’t work if their needs are met” is patently untrue

      It’s not true or untrue for “people” as a monolith. People differ.

      Lots of people are happy to do literally nothing productive, if they could. And lots of people hate being professionally idle, so much so that they can’t stand not finding at least a part-time job, even after they’ve “retired”. At my current job, we had a 99 year old who was basically FORCED to retire (for the second time, she had ‘retired’ already, before she came to work here) by management, after she had a health scare at work. She was literally angry and grumbling about it during her retirement party, lol.

      Different people are wired differently. Nuance is important.

        Well you’d need to define productive, bc if by productive you mean work 9 to 5 esc job then sure maybe, but people like doing stuff especially when they can do that with others
