Hardly worth engaging with someone who immediately starts with a strawman argument. I never said anything about worth or owned. But ironically I think most would consider the squirrel pretty hard working. I don’t think many squirrels expect someone else to build their house.
The worth comment was in reference to the image. All I did was compare a natural system versus our master slave one, challenging your argument. I guess I should have asked you to define work first, but instead you ignored the point and picked out the part that you thought best supported your argument.
Squirrels do work. But their work directly benefits and is essential to their survival. Also, older squirrels built their houses by planting the trees their younger generations now live in… For free.
Hard to argue one way or another with the one sentence statement in the original post. I mentioned that a social safety net is important but that there should be an expectation of work. Work doesn’t necessarily mean toiling in a factory for some wealthy capitalist. Ideally it means work towards self-improvement, which can mean a variety of things, including toiling in a factory.
