      my stance is exactly the opposite: idle hands do the devil's work, and most people who have "50 hour per week" jobs actually work 15-20 hours per week (max) ...and spend the rest of that "at work" time virtue signally on social mediahttps://twitter.com/Empty_America/status/1503386359276478464 …

      It is quite plausible that full time/full year employment eventually causes serious mental illness in most subjects. This hypothesis would fit the observed evidence very well. https://twitter.com/PaulCrenstorm/status/1503051559416078341 …

      It sounds like the 9-5 routine forces idleness, whereas if those people were *actually* free during that time, they'd probably do something useful - hobbies, exercise, relationships, etc.

          I quickly gave up delivering hot meals to “needy families” after taking food to a family of 5 adults in their pjs watching TV in the afternoon - and such was the norm, not a one-off case.

          4/ Some folks say that if we destroy the entire "social safety net", people will be reduced to begging in the streets. I respond "yes ... and most of those cut off from free cash would prefer to work than beg, so...win, win"

          Back in the day I volunteered a LOT with my church to provide labor or food to needy individuals or families. Mowing the lawn for a shut-in senior citizen was rewarding. But occasionally I'd step into a house and think "hold the phone, this place is nicer than where *I* live."

          And no, this was not a realization that I was actually poor white trash or something. More like the slow realization that some people out there feel entitled to both luxuries AND necessities but can only *afford* one or the other... and choose luxuries.

          I’ve often said to bosses that I’m far more productive when we are 80-90% busy than 50%. I’d rather be given enough extra work that I have to be productive and efficient to accomplish it all.

          To be fair... I do work much harder on my weekends than I do during the work week. Much of my time is just spent being "available" or waiting for some multi-day bureaucratic process to finally allow me to do 15 minutes of work

          I suspect part of this is a failure in workplace management too. Like, if you had talented managers directing work to goals you could have folks work as long as it takes to complete that goal. This feels more natural too… we worked to achieve goals and rested when reached.

          Hunter-gatherer? Hunt and gather till you have Enough (better tribes manage Enough more accurately,) and I’m guessing similar to farming, in that its a set of distinct things to complete. Very different from free-floating hourly jobs.
