Control as in forcing you to work 40 hours a week for your whole life. Not commenting on what should or shouldn't be, just interpreting the message. If people didn't need to work, they wouldn't, and nothing would get done. A few people with a lot of wealth don't have to work, but depend on the people who do to maintain their lifestyles.

I absolutely would work if I didn’t have to. I used to volunteer and I find working quite fun. I’m absolutely bonkers, though.

I also like working if it's fullfilling. I just don't want to work if the entire point is funding some sociopath's perversions.

Test programs for UBI always show different, while yes a significant percentage does stop working, most still do work, enough to keep the world moving especially with how much automation can and is coming into play

I would absolutely still work but there’s no fucking way is work 40 hours at a poorly managed company. I could do something fulfilling or just help out at the local grocery store a few hours a week.

Exactly, companies would have to actually deal with capitalism
