What kind of f'd up system is it where

[abumbyanyothername]

less work and more stuff is a bad thing?

I mean, that's exactly what a recession is. Too much stuff, not enough work.

1. Not all stuff is created equal.

People are losing their places to put their stuff.

[lunatica]

2. Yeah. Pretty fucked up

when the only way to get to that stuff is to work more that's beyond fucked up. Water, water everywhere...

3. My point exactly --

if what we have is an overabundance of productive capacity and no way for anyone to consume what we produce, why not just pass it out for free . . . pro rata (everyone gets an equal share)?

[lunatica]

4. And while they're at it, cut the number of working hours too

So that less work and more stuff can make some godammed sense for once
