    The idea that you need to earn a living implies you dont deserve to live. We produce vastly more than we consume. The idea that people need jobs or to work is laughable, we just need to eat the rich.

      The idea that you need to earn a living implies you dont deserve to live.

      Meanwhile the rich are thinking “The idea that you need to earn a living implies you do deserve to live,” and drawing quite a different conclusion.

          Hes saying that from rich peoples perspectives, we dont create anything of value and therefore there is little we could do to “earn a living”

          The rich think that if they can’t use our labour to make them richer, we are useless and don’t deserve to live. They value ordinary people only as “human resources”.
