But it would. You don't have lazy people where you work?

Also, yeah I acknowledge that there are BS jobs, but if you can get 10% of the workforce to stay home and eat TV dinners, the working class will have more leverage. So at least it would pay better and be harder to fire people.

You think only lazy people hate punching in?

The majority of jobs are ****.

No. I just think lazy people won't get bored of sitting on their ass.

you really think that any amount of boredom would compel someone to punch a clock at some average job if they didn't need the money? Why wouldn't they just do something fun instead.

Also you never saw Chappelle show???? I mean roots...

I've watched retirement kill at least two of my family members. When you're not doing anything with your life, when you have no purpose, when no one expects you to show up somewhere, decline sets in. After a few months, it's like a gravitational pull.
