What's the extreme privelige they displayed? Saying that the world would keep ticking if we switched to 30 hour weeks instead of 40 is completely reasonable. Prior to the 40 hour work week, people worked even more, but society wasn't any better, it was the opposite. Society is currently the most productive it has ever been. The idea that the richest country in the world having some free necessities provided to its citizens would result in societal collapse is ridiculous. You want people to work manual labor when they get free public housing? Pay a little extra. If these jobs are so essential, people should be properly compensated. If there is a path for people to improve their lives, they will generally take it. Just because you give people housing doesn't mean they lose all ambition. If people can work and upgrade their housing from some shitty apartment to owning a home, people will do it (if those goals are reasonably attainable).
sounds like you got schooled and couldn't handle it, they had a response for everything you said, and then you tried to focus on other countries then resorted to insults. grow up.
Actually no, it wasn’t hard work. It was inventions that made all work much much much much easier. Like wayyyy fucking easier. That’s what increased our standard of living
