If we properly allocated resources, people could live their lives having more free time than work time.

We're dropping the ball so hard just to let a few nepo babies play god.

At the same time, I would like to ward against the primitivist argument that we're worse off now, in terms of leisure time, than we were before the development of human civilization. We're incredibly better off now than previously.

It's just that having a better life than people living at a subsistence level still does not legitimize having years of our lives stolen from us so a couple of nepo kids can circlejerk on their yachts about how much better they are than us Poors.
