Free Time

[Paradoxum]

How is a lower income a better life?

I didn't say it would be a lower income.

I didn't say it would be a lower income.

Why would my employer pay me the same amount of money for less work?

You mean you don't pay full price for 3/5 of your yard to be mowed, 3 of 5 quarts of oil change, 60% of a movie?

I didn't know people had a problem with people who had more free time. I don't know.

I'd be interested in hearing why you ask first. I promise to be honest after. I wonder if you'll lie why you asked if I tell you first.

Simple answer; people that have strong opinions on topics, could have them because of personal experiences in regards to the same and their environment. This is why I asked the question.

You wondering if I would lie, is interesting. How would you know if I lied?

They get put in prison if they don't?

 

[Desk trauma]

They get put in prison if they don't?

A sound reason but what's the advantage to forcing businesses to run less efficiently?

They get put in prison if they don't?

Were you going to get around to answering my question in post 6?

to be fair some people would do bad things and some people don't know what to do.

Why do some people find it so strange and terrible that people might have more free time?

As if free time means people don't know what to do with their time, or might do something bad.

If people worked 3 instead of 5 days, why couldn't people spend their time doing sport, art, taking in or creating entertainment, science and innovation, helping their community, or just relaxing?

Only if you are paid by hour.

humans have not realized that money is fake and that wealth is real. no one gets to own certain amounts or kinds of wealth, they are oppressed to keep on earning money since they can't have certain kinds of wealth. if you try to have a form of wealth then you will be forced to work for money for the very fact that you "own" that wealth. evil people try to use the distraction of money as wealth so that people act like slaves and devalue their own efforts into something far less than what it is really worth.

however the system of money has also for a long time now been a very useful tool.
