      Yes. Or rather why is everyone working such ridiculously long hours when everyone could work less than ten a week and still produce enough for everyone to have more than enough to thrive?

        Yes, in the socialist utopia, money clouds would rain cash on us all and no one would have to contribute anything to society.

          Yes, they shouldn’t have to. Bad societies are created solely with punishments, good societies give back as much as they received from the individuals.

          I’d say only scaredy cats can be controlled via punishment. Being homeless is both a punishment and a warning to others.
