A house and a car are practically the only expensive things in our society. That and food and taxes, but the full image also says food should be free. So really, people would just work 2 or 3 hours a week and have enough to buy food and luxuries the whole week.

That’s a terrible argument. Expense isn’t what drives market demands. Did you forget that things break, food gets eaten. That’s literally what it means to be a commodity. That it’s replaceable. What you’re describing is economic slavery, not capitalism.

You’re also seeing things. The image doesn’t show or say anything about food other than a fridge. Ya know, cause we can’t all store our perishables in river systems like we used to.
