My Understanding Of The Situation

From my understanding, humans are inherently selfish and require incentives to do things. Currency is the carrot on the stick to motivate people to work. It's a way to direct the flow of energy produced by people so that energy is used in a constructive manner. Work is necessary for growing and sustaining a society. Without this system there would be no major advancements. The problem in my eyes is not money or work but rather greed and an imbalanced lifestyle. Hoarding wealth, wasting resources on trivial creature comforts and condoning a system where the average person is working nearly all day everyday is the problem. I do believe people are entitled to their earnings however but unfortunately that can lead to rich people wasting money. The only way I can see us circumventing that is by addressing the unbalanced 9-5 wage slavery system. Less hours, higher pay & restrictions…

The problem in my eyes is not money or work but rather greed and an imbalanced lifestyle.

Hoarding wealth, wasting resources on trivial creature comforts and condoning a system where the average person is working nearly all day everyday is the problem.

I do believe people are entitled to their earnings however but unfortunately that can lead to rich people wasting money. The only way I can see us circumventing that is by addressing the unbalanced 9-5 wage slavery system.

Less hours, higher pay & restrictions on overpricing would improve quality of life and force businesses to hire more people. It's less money for these businesses but when they're multibillion dollar companies you're just balancing the scales in my eyes.

Please offer your opinions, critiques and address any mistakes I've made or any flaws in my way of thinking. Thank you.
