Why do we still work 40 hours a week?

Wouldn't it be better to work less and still be able to live?

Yeah because food and shelter grows on trees. Let's quit working and stay home and masturbate to hentai instead.

it's baffling, technology should be used to make life easier
not fill every fucking waking moment with work

but you can work less, if you find a way to get sufficient income from your work
you can make your own business and work however you want, but you need to rake in the money to pay the bills

the biggest drain is housing, there's no reason it should be that high and there's numerous artificial factors that keep propping up prices where I am
who knew bricks could be so expensive

Does food just make itself? Would you rather not have the shelter of a home or a vehicle to travel?

You always have the option of buying a camper van and trying to live in the forest growing some veggies where there is sun and using a river as your shower. It's not as if you won't still need to "work" to make a fire as well as work to bring water to your camp and try to acquire food. Even if you hunt for your food, you'd better have enough ammo and maintain the weapon. It surely won't be easy living.

countless studies show that people are more productive and efficient when they're rested and happy

The actual amount of work required to produce food for everyone is miniscule, just like the marginal work required to repair and build new homes. It's the Jewish usurers that have us working still.

Is this the 'level'? is the bar that low?

Do you work growing food? or in construction?

Food does grow on trees but once you finish harvesting from that tree, it won't grow fruit again for months to a year. Once you pick all the ground/bush berries, you'll be screwed for a year and you still need to eat the next day. Not sustainable unless you have your own farm.

food isn't expensive, how much do you think a carrot costs?
it's not that hard to grow your own food actually, fresher too

most food does grow on trees
and soon robotics will be doing the farmwork, making it even cheaper, unless farmers decide to become pricks and charge the same

I've tried to grow a garden in my backyard. Buying planters and good soil, the ant infestation would destroy all the plants and use aphids to suck the life out of the plants. I would harvest next to nothing. The plants would turn yellow and die from the constant pest attacks. Try it yourself, it's not as easy as it looks. Trees on the other hand produce way more but takes years to produce fruit.

>the biggest drain is housing, there's no reason it should be that high and there's numerous artificial factors that keep propping up prices where I am
>who knew bricks could be so expensive

Bingo, In past times most of the income went to food expenses today it's bricks.

In my country this is clearly a fault of regulation, 90% of people lives in flats and it's still so expensive that we have millions of unhabited houses..

Mostly (((banks))) and state want to live from your taxes and annual interests so you have to be paying 40 years..

crop rotation, food storage, trading
food isn't the biggest expense in the west

it's housing, as if bricks in the house will start vanishing on their own if you dont pay the price gouging rent, bastards here buy up empty houses and keep them off the market so they can keep house prices high and charge more for rent, hedge funds do similar things in america

3d printed houses will end them

why will someone want to slave away for 20-40 years when they can buy a house for 12k?

>questioning why we work jobs we hate to barely cover living expenses
reported for antisemitism

I work 53. The overtime is mandatory. Based manufacturing r right guys?

Is this bait? 40 hours a week is too few, kek. You ONLY work the classic 8h and only 5/7 and complain?

I tried it, not that hard
the plant is doing the hard work of creating the fruits and veggies out of fuckin sunlight, water and dirt
it can be easily automated, and should be
I'd set up aquaponics, but I need a permanent dwelling, I can't be disassembling it and reassembling it everytime I move

>we
Memeflaggot op.

what do you spend those extra hours doing?
shouldn't manufacturing be automated? or are you making swords by hand one by one?
also aren't there a shortage of customers?
everyone's strapped for cash

>Wouldn't it be better to work less and still be able to live?
LEECH
ANTI SEMITE
DEGENERATE

Its why i want a remote off grid farm so bad. I would much rather work for myself, at home in the sunshine and breeze than slaving away for someone else. Most of the money they pay really isn't a lot to begin with. Right now i work part time and go to school. Some day I hope to quit work altogether and farm.

>banks
Precisely this. The fact that banks are permitted to hold less than 100% reserves and lend the difference is ultimately the reason why housing prices and property values are so high. As part of that, interest rates are reduced so that more people are eligible to (((borrow))) that made-up money, and banks are virtually exempt from the consequences of dangerous lending because the central bank/government will always step in and give them a stimulus at the taxpayer's expense.

As a result, prices skyrocket because suddenly people are swimming in money that can only be spent on a house.

>and soon robotics will be doing the farmwork, making it even cheaper, unless farmers decide to become pricks and charge the same

Are robots free and need no maintenance? They all cost money and are an investment that will deteriorate over time, just like cars. Sure eventually they will pay for themselves but then they become inefficient.

how much land do you need for crop rotation? farms are heavily subsidized by government, that's the reason why food is cheap in the west.

At our current technology, someone out there would still have to prop up your hedonistic lifestyle.

So unless you are proposing slavery, you gotta earn your keep.

which is why cryptos will save us by making banks obsolete

Depends on the crop. Corn is very exhausting on the soil. You would need an alternate acre for every corn acre you have, switch every year.
Commercial corn just dumps tons of chemical fertilizer.

The low price of food is resultant from government fuel and tax subsidy programs, as well as the use of migrant labor being paid slave wages and/or importation of fresh produce from literal slave plantations in some banana republic.

it'll cost far less to maintain the robots than it does to hire workers (you're basically also paying their bills/food indirectly), the robot's are more reliable than human workers and will produce far more than a human can, and at higher quality

you might as well not use technology if it doesn't benefit, there would be no point

>but then they become inefficient.
sure if you let apple design them with planned obsolescence
why not build things to last like they used to be and make them open source, we can save loads of resources, imagine having things be easily repairable

Cryptos are decent, but they feature some problems that commodity money doesn't, and vice versa. Climbing transaction fees and massive blockchains, for instance. Still, the technology is improving constantly, and new ideas come around every so often, so it looks like good times ahead.

Banks would be fine if they were held to the same standards as any other business and were not permitted to commit fraud. A 100% reserve banking system, using gold as a money, would solve a huge number of problems we face today.

>work less
Right on,dude! That would be way cool! You talking about that basic income thing? Cool, but...

adopt vertical farming, you won't even need fertile soil, you can pump nutrients right into the plant roots, you could turn a skyscraper into a vertical farm, and use mirrors to provide ample sunlight to all levels, or use artifical lighting like in hydroponics

fuck sake measley pay?

I don't work, live in a comfortable home on below minimum wage play all the vidya I want, eat anything I want, have a 1080. Can go out drinking when I want

And can save for a hooker once every 2 weeks. 312 NZ a week. I live like a king.

capitalism is amazing. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just entitled.

ok interesting, I will look into this, how much would food cost if the subsidies weren't there?

migrant labor wont be required in the future

Fuck this. I hate my country so much.

How much Meth are you making and selling on the side?

>Still, the technology is improving constantly, and new ideas come around every so often, so it looks like good times ahead.

yep, its not ready yet, but it will be eventually
the internet in the 80s couldn't do much

>Banks would be fine if they were held to the same standards as any other business and were not permitted to commit fraud

I don't see banks disappearing, but I do think cryptos will force them to be honest, and they will transform into crypto key holders and provide financial services for those who can't learn cryptos

and the cryptos will force a new kind of wealth distribution, all that horded fiat has to go somewhere before it becomes worthless, cryptos are only a tiny fraction of the world economy at present, there's oceans of money out there

any decrease in cost of living is offset by reducing the value of the dollar by 2.7% relative to the decrease in cost of consumer goods.

Yeah but if you don't compete for status women won't fuck you, leaving us scrambling for shit jobs even though there are Bangladeshi people and robots to do most of the work.

As more and more things get automated. Work should be less and less but corporations are greedy.

I'm wondering how money and employment would look like when we get to the point robots are doing everything for us that humans don't need to do anything to survive and have resources. Will humanity just idle around?

thought you were greece lol
it's not about the hours, but the output
robots let you do more with less

We're garbage and we always will be. Just give it up.

another example to explain your own enslavement:

the average salary in the early 1920s was around $3500usd, the price of gold was $21 an ounce. This meant the average salary was around 166 ounces of gold or 215,000 of todays usd

the average salary of an american today is around 40k which means 37 ounces. 22% of 1925s wage

gold is the only way to measure value across time because it is independent of time

imagine being such a retard you will do a robot's job for it

some will idle and just consume
others will create art, invent things or entertain
at least I will have time to make things I want to make, instead of working on something I have absolutely no interest in

Both of those things actually do grow on trees and you're a tryhard faggot from reddit.

Faggot. I work 75 hours a week because I actually realise my life is more than just living for myself.

That mongoloid blood is flowing strong today, the Chinese slave inside of him is itching to work 120+ hours a week making iphones.

This is true, as a leaf it's your duty to feed all your Muslim and Chinese immigrants.

Oh yeah? Can you mow my lawn for free too? That would be great.

Dude we mexicans regularly work 50 hours per weak plus extra time, im wishing for the telecan to end so this working time trend die already, get ready to work 60 hours a day to make your own cars

You sicken me you fucking literal subhuman

No. Humans need purpose, and purpose is found through work. You find a country that has mandated a work week that constitutes less than a quarter of their time including travel (42 hours), and I'll show you a country who's soul is dying.

That said, I advocate your right to kill yourself as fast or as slow as you want.

some people here are still thinking like dinosaurs, fucking idiots. meat and produce will be grown in a lab in the future, it will get cheaper and much more healthier. some of you faggots will just not be around to witness it. in the future there will no longer be money to be made off a lot of things, food is one of it, trinkets is another.

what we have now is a free for all with cheap labor until that well too runs dry and it wont even matter if every single person on the planet is working, the amount of growth these greedy fucks want is unsustainable, the powers that be want everyone working, for less, that includes men and women and children, but also illegal spics, even if they cant speak a word of english, even if they have no paper to their name, even if they are criminals. yet you continue to suck current capitalisms dick, both the democrats are doing it for votes, and republican business owner for cheap labor. cant you fucking see what's happening. it is eventually not going to matter in the future because they will drop you once they don't need you, it's why spics are so stupid, always being taken advantage of. used like a condom and thrown in the gutter.

In all seriousness though for the first two years of starting my security business I was making 30k a year, first year I made 20k, second year 40k, I kept at a 50k a year salary for the next 4 years after and spent all the profits on growing the business. It's now gotten to a point where I can reap my rewards.

Oh and the hours? I was putting 70-80 sometimes more because that's what I had to survive and thrive.

>being this naive
You people may not have noticed the massive advances in technology and automation. Very few people now work in agriculture to grow all the food we need due to technology. Growth areas in jobs are more likely to require qualifications that many people are not cut out for. Those learn-on-the-job factory jobs and the like are a thing of the past.

What should have happened is that work hours should have been cut back, since less labor is required now. Instead we have a ballooning services sector that is of questionable economic value, and the rise of Bullshit Jobs

Read that article, and take note how it promotes urban/cosmopolitan culture. Also observer the shut-in insular lives of wagecucks.
Can you start to see a picture emerge of what is really going on?
Have you noticed there is no government policy anywhere to address massive amount of excess labor?
Have you noticed the exponential growth of the population, and no policy on that?
Do you think they have no plans at all?

It's a rough guess. I don't put even have to go to work anymore really. The time I spent is mostly just answering some emails.

I make money while I sleep or on holiday.

you guys again are missing the point here, still talking about shit that doesn't matter, 40 hours a week is peanuts, but again none of that is important. ((((they))))) want infinity growth, and guess what, vast majority of the kids in college that I see will not make it to a job interview, never mind a job. so enjoy being forced to have a future filled with open border cuckery and just shitty people, you asked for it by continuing to lick their ass, dumbass lol. you working 40 hours is not enough for them, so they will just replace you with someone or something that can do that, it's a race to the bottom, sure you might not see it 5 years from now, but the ass kissing is programmed so deep that you are unable to see it. btw, my major is numerical control/manufacturing technology, you guys have got no clue what's headed lol. keep licking that ass.

Started out in this industry as a depressed 21 year who had no real future or ambition. 24 years later and I'm doing very very well for my self in the same industry. You can make it any field or industry if you play it smart and put the hours in. Dominate your field, kids.

Capitalism rewards those who sacrifice for others and invest in a better future for their children.

it's either most Westerners are spoiled, entitled, and lazy or their parents were spoiled, entitled, and lazy.

vain preoccupation with "fame" has caused most people to spend far beyond their means, literally the means of their children and grandchildren all for "celebrity".

it's a pathetic form of tyranny that could only come from a culture that promoted colonization, slaver, segregation, exploitation, and marginalization to "thrive"

How is this /pol?

Are you a spic?
Stop lazying around

Sacrifice. There's the word. Pay attention kids this guy knows what he is talking about. It's something that entitled fucks who complain about putting in 40 hr weeks will NEVER understand.

Unfortunately people don't see the process because they only see the end goal (riches) and not the sacrifices that were put in line to get there (long daunting hrs, no weekends, broken/failed relationships, no eating out, living extremely frugal, no holidays etc.)

you're not hiring muslims as security guards are you?

The problem isn't work, the problem is work that leads to nothing.

400 years ago your work built a new mill for the village, or brought in the harvest, or built the walls on the road that kept the farmers moving their sheep from snacking on your fields.

Today your work moves the paper that allows the purchasing department to buy 6,000 tons of pink plastic to be sent to the strategic business unit in Malaysia to be turned into My Little Pony toys to be sold at a ridiculous markup to unengaged parents for use distracting shitty kids in the time between the kids being at school and the kids being asleep so that the unengaged parent can stave off their moral surrender to the god Capital for another day.

If doing your work well is not worth doing well for its own sake then of course you'll feel like shit.

But it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. You have a shit job so you engage in mindless consumerism to help you forget about it which fuels the demand for shitty consumer goods which creates jobs producing garbage to go from store to dump.

Sure man, just work harder. Turn that 40 hour week into a 60 hour week for the same pay. Oh no, you’re lazy if you don’t work 60 hours a week for lower pay. It’s the free market, the market knows best teehee.
