I honestly don’t know why “Work as a Choice” is controversial?

Work as a choice makes perfect sense… a system or society where basic needs are covered by guaranteed min. income. We all know, and it can be proven, that most people LOVE working. We're not anti-work, we're anti meaningless, dehumanizing, non-livable wage work. How is the idea of work as a choice so despised and demonized? It would make society healthier.

It’s scary in America

If you start a business it’s really dangerous if you threaten the other big businesses’ success and profits. You could get targeted by the IRS and sued and be subject to corrupt politicians changing laws to hurt you. They want you working 8hr/5days a week and exhausted during your free time. No competition allowed. A lot of lawsuits prove this. It’s a disgusting place. You can get jail JUST because of corruption. Don’t go against the grain. Don’t do anything actually helpful. Only work.

Where are all these anti-union users coming from?!

I noticed lately that this subreddit has had a lot of anti-union comments recently. I find it ironic that people who are against organized labor would be here, which leads me to believe that it’s probably right wing trolls. It’s always disheartening to see working class people simping for abuse. I also noticed that where I work (union shop), we’ve been getting letters in the mail from the “freedom foundation” urging us to drop the union. I’m wondering if other union members are also getting those and maybe it’s all related (freedom foundation type actively trying to urge people to drop their unions while sending trolls to places like this or maybe I’m just paranoid). Sorry for the rant, was just wondering how other people see this.
