‘I got a powerful need to eat’
why use carrot when stick work
No, the way they got people to work was by enslaving them; then by “it’s not slavery, you just can’t leave without my permission” serfdom; then by forcing rural families to migrate to cities because mr landowner bought everything (or killed the owners), so that the factories could pay poverty level salaries; then, when workers got too riled up, by outsourcing work to wherever people were desperate enough to accept 10% of the pay.
I think you missed the part just prior to slavery where we had to work to avoid starving to death naked and alone exposed the elements.
I guess, but that wasn’t the kind of labor that made you wish for death, either yours or somebody else’s
Or rather, people have the urge to survive and will do whatever it takes.
Whether that’s the hard labor of small groups subsistence level existing, for the reward of not starving and suffering the elements. Or putting sandwiches in a bag for a one room apartment and a cell phone.
We’ve long since discarded the faggy liberal Democrat reward system with the superior punishment system. /s
We’ve gone from the reward being more happiness to the reward being less suffering.
Food and roof. Two hots and a cot.
Land taxes were invented to stop people relaxing
Probably because the people who relaxed would soon be murdered by a more organized group with better nutrition, numbers, or weapons.
This is because boomers now consume less, so currency needs to be debased to provide the level of consumption to increase, to match 2% inflation.
The less people consume as demographics age the more repressed the youth will be, as we lock up inelastic goods behind massive debt. It doesn’t matter how nominally rich boomers get, if they don’t consume our money supply will grow.
It’s not the boomers that are hoarding wealth and not spending it, it’s the top 0.1%
