Matt Stoller added,
How is it wealth-sucking? We print money and pay them to work, then we consume the product of their work. Pretty good deal.
Wealth isn't just stuff, it's the ability to make stuff and sustain communities. China can increasingly do that, we increasingly can't.
That's fair, but it's also our job to build our own communities, whether jobs are there or not
Impossible to sustain and build communities when those communities are under attack and can't defend themselves.
I'm saying there's no law that insists you must organize a community around labor and work
There's no law saying humans need air and food or social contact.
There are biological laws that say that. But you could organize a community around family, art, leisure, sports, learning, etc.
The anthropological literature is replete with examples. Work doesn't have to be everything, unless we insist that it is
Agreed. Though I'd rather be engaged in paid (or volunteer) labor force than just relegated to unpaid work embedded in that word "family".
It's only embedded there in a world in which work is centered and elevated
