Welcome to the Post-Work Economy
Well I&#x27;m 30 and have been unemployed all my life. I&#x27;m safe at home, trying to make a game. Jobs aren&#x27;t necessary anymore. That&#x27;s what the industry and automation are for. In a way, you can say capitalism allows the development of industries, which in the end seems to reduce the necessity of having capitalism in the first place.<p>I didn&#x27;t read the article, but I always sense there is this weird belief that &quot;people must work and belong to something so that society can function&quot;. I can&#x27;t really express it. What bothers me is that somehow, even after the new deal and social programs, not having a salary or income is seen as some sort of a bad thing, and often, it will be a bad thing for your mental health (isolation, lack of personal goals).<p>I guess that is what people don&#x27;t like about capitalism, is that it builds an inability for anyone to share and live in communities normally, because the political argument of altruism seems to lead to communism and soviet evils. It&#x27;s really hard to make a link between capitalism and the lack of fulfillment, despite the increase in wealth, but at some point I&#x27;m sure people would prefer an economy which isn&#x27;t so focused on growth, but rather on long term development.
