Sky says "Stigma attached to going to work" well of course how else could it be?

One of the most messed up things about #Capitalism is the contradiction over work.

What do the rich aristocracy do? Well they don't work, cos that is why they need money to hire other people to do the work for them.

Indeed the whole point of money is to limit resources to the poor so they have to work, and give the rich the ability to offload work onto the poor.

No one likes work, or if they did you wouldn't need a salary. It's not like they pay you to eat ice cream.

Obviously more complex than that, but Capitalism simply has no idea what it is doing here apart from imposing a class system of non-owners who have to go to work, and owners who don't.

There was this TV interview with a girl on a new Thatcher created Under-Class council estate who was asked if she worked "piss off I'm not working class." That says everything about the nonsense of Capitalism.

Don't pretend for a minute Capitalism makes any sense or provides a blue print for the future, it's just an unfortunate hangover from the days of Empire. #EndCapitalism

Now this line is worth some extra thought "It's not like they pay you to eat ice cream." Salary arises when you do something for someone else in a monetary system. Obviously in service sector and charity sector where "need" governs then volunteering is quite normal, and generosity and helpfulness provide a much more profound mode of behaviour than in a monetary system. As mentioned through this blog everything important (sunlight, rain, air, our conception, growth and birth**, etc is free) so why should we charge? But in a monetary system if someone gives us what we want, then we compensate monetarily. "They pay you to eat ice cream" because it is what you want. Unless it's in a movie, or perhaps you are hired as a fake customer to promote a ice-cream brand or shop. Then whether you like ice-cream or not is not the issue, its that you are delivering what someone else wants. Then you get cash. The idea of doing a job you like then is irrelevant to the cash. So the key is the find something you like doing that also give other people something they too like, then you get cash as well. So that was a basic analysis that probably wasn't needed its so basic.

** interesting SRH there in the form of Anthropic Principle. When you say your "conception was free" this presupposes your conception. If you died then was it free? There is an implicit assumption that someone is the beneficiary when we speak of "free". So this supports the monetary argument above that "free" is desire based. Getting "what you want" without compensation is "free." So the Sun rising and providing morning light is "free" if we want day light. Of course someone due to be hung at sunrise may not want it and consider it free at all. A kick in the head is "free!"
