      Most of us are, including me. Chase your bliss - I truly hope you find it:-).

      But please, don’t make other people into your bitch.

      Your choice is one thing, but why force others to do your work for you? Read the OP again in case you missed it: in addition to living like a king and eating Doritos, it also says “while other people do all the hard work” - the keyword there is people, as in human beings, not robots.

      If, as you claim, you are “very much against unfulfilling drudgery”, then why would you support having others do that work for you?

      And maybe that’s not what you meant, so it’s all good and we are in agreement. But it kinda sounded like the opposite, and you were against work only when you might have to do it, and thus by implication perhaps for work so long as it is others who end up doing it? So I just wanted to make sure that I did not leave that unsaid.

      You do you, that’s great, so long as you allow the same of others. That’s all I’m saying.

        Listen, I’m from the rural south. We do basically everything ourselves. If a toilet needs repaired, we fix it. If the road needs to be graveled in in the potholes, we fix it.

        Nobody is asking to do no work. They’re just tired of doing work at the behest of the capitalist class. The problem is that work is both an adjective and a noun. Nobody likes the noun.
