    “People don’t want to work anymore.” is a term that doesn’t make very much sense. Most people have never wanted to work. That’s why their ultimate goal is to retire and never work again.

    For the most part, people don’t want to work. They just want the result of work. You know, compensation, different people to socialize with, a feeling of usefulness, etc. All stuff that is obviously possible to get without working.

      I’m jealous of early humans. Sitting around the fire, preening each other. Maybe raise some kids. Hunt every now and then. And then 16 hours of free time to do… anything. Instead of this bullshit sit at a desk for 8 hours, commute for 2 hours. Get paid like shit. Treated like shit. Ugh. Early humans had it made.
