    Literally every living organism must work to live. It’s called surviving. This is just wrong lol.

        They said we’re the only species that has to pay to live. Pay = working to survive. Pay is reward for effort. It’s just false.

          Pay = working to survive

          Not true, you are interpreting their argument in a way that makes it easy to dismiss, i.e. a strawman

          The absence of rent does not imply the absence of work

            First off, that’s projecting lol. And as soon as you say strawman means you’re trying to turn it into an argument, which is just a waste of time. Also that’s exactly what you’re doing. That’s also just wrong.

            Trying to argue over definitions of simple words is probably one of the biggest waste of bandwidth out there.

      Have you ever thought about how we’re the only animal that works for the benefit of other animals, with the exception of ants and bees? All other animals only work to keep themselves alive, not to create profit for shareholders.

      Not that this is even what the post was about in the first place, but whatever.

      We’re the only animal that works for the benefit of other animals, with the exception of ants and bees. No other animal is out there is working to raise profits for shareholders ffs. They only work to keep themselves alive, for their own benefit.
