    “When there’s no need to work, where do you get your sense of meaning and purpose and structure?"

      Just because one financially doesn’t need to work doesn’t mean one is forbidden from doing so. Plenty of openings in retail with lots of opportunity for arguably meaningful human interaction.

    It’s almost like we’re under an economic system that perpetuates itself at the expense of literally every single person on Earth, and we would all be better off if we abolished it.
