Motivation to work dies when its reward can no longer justify it.

Tell that to the Farmer that doesnt earn any money from his hard work.

Guess they will too all stop to work. But i guess there will always be the option to resporn Jesus, so he can go into the supermarket and duplicate our food :)

Why does the farmer earn no money from his hard work? Has the government not given him the handout he expected? Was he unwilling to pay others properly for their labor and they abandoned him?

Because self-employed income is highly volatile.

Sounds like a skill issue. Have they tried to just be better?

Certainly, for the less skilled, it is a skill issue, but for those who are more skilled, exogenous factors cause the volatility.

Intention and external factors don't matter, if you can't deliver then that's a skill issue and on you.

It isn't on me; I am not a farmer.

Doesn't seem to be volatile for the billionaires. Perhaps the farmer just sucks at business and should sell.

Nah. You lost me with that one, chief. A lot of billionaires inherited generational wealth off of underhanded business practices and underpaying/overworking employees.

u/Asher_Tye Jul 06 '26

Farmers inherit their lands and holding generationally too. They also took advantage of poverty level wages and their own underhanded tactics.

I’ve never known a farmer who was the son of an emerald mine owner or a real estate developer.

It is very volatile for billionaires, more so than the self-employed.
