I thought for sure this would be your average /r/antiwork -er but turns out he's some ricecel who sugar daddies for white foids 
Antiwork or not, still pathetic. I'll leave that for someone else if they're interested.
What the frick does this even mean?
Now this is the antiwork / latestagecapitalism poster I expected
Nah. I want a boat. Ill put in the extra hours thank you very much.
Nooo you're a heckin workaholic 
by antiworker pretending to know labor economics
This is what lazy people say to themselves to justify their behavior.

He's sort of right, but in a wrong way. The truth is that automation has, indeed, freed up an absolute insane amount of work-hours that were spent on production in all preceding times. Like 99% of them. This, somehow, didn't lead to the fall of average work-hours, just movement to a massive circlejerk of everyone "servicing" each other. For 8+ hours a day, while the actual production increased at a pretty slow pace because it's almost at a logical limit (Americans try, but there's just no reasonable way you can convince everyone that they need 4 cars, for instance). Of course this also leads to massive jumps in unemployment, and colossal swings, since consumption is dependent on these circlejerks being functional, and producers will lay off useless circlejerkers as soon as they're squeezed slightly, causing a feedback loop that we see all the fricking time, every couple of decades.
Rightoids for some reason ignore this obvious flaw in capitalism, but it's there. It's all just a giant bubble that can (and does!) randomly burst.
Anyway - the answer (if you really want to keep capitalism for some reason) is UBI and a lower work-week. Like 30 hours or something. This will vastly moderate these inherent swings caused by capitalism being an utter shit system.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Pinning this to generate seethe and because you people need to actually read an intelligent opinion to read once in a while

If you want to see what happens with UBI look at natives in Canada. Free money does not help people, it makes them lazy addicts. Read up on lottery winners and how many of them piss away their money and become junkies. People think if they had more money they would do things they enjoy more but in reality, it just makes you bored. A struggle is healthy part of life.

I tried to unpin this. Not because I disagree, or even read it, but just because I thought I could

It used to work, but now jannies can no longer unpin OP-pinned comments, and OP cannot unpin jannie-pinned ones. Because when both worked - there were lengthy pin-wars over stupid shit.

Let's see if I can overpin you or if it will underpin

Looks like it overpinned. I think pins compete with each other like normal comments do, tbh.

Yeah let's just implement an extremely expensive government program and then decimate the tax base we need to pay for that program

Yeah because unlike commies I think of how things will work in the real world, not in my imagination nor theories nor magical counterfactuals where you just hand wave away any inconvenient problems you run into.
Lol unlike you I actually read econ papers and I've never seen anyone claim anything as stupid as that. The closest thing would be MMT shills, who are pretty much universally panned as the flat earthers of monetary policy. Enjoy your hyperinflation.

I still remember Andrew Yang being shocked when he was asked about UBIβs 3 trillion cost on the debate stage. And heβs supposed to be the smart math guy for libs (yes I know heβs not officially a Dem anymore)
