The origins of the seven-day week, its biblical roots and the balance between work and rest are shared by author Mark Gerson, who says modern studies support the idea of a productivity ceiling.
Why should ordinary people already burdened with responsibilities donate their precious time and energy just so that some rich fucks can hang on to even more of the wealth they neither need nor deserve?
Yes spite your local community and the people around you to shake your fist at the rich people who live nowhere near you!
How dare they do something somewhere else!
Meanwhile dumbfucks like me bike/walk their community and clean up the parks on a pretty consistent basis so that we don’t have to pay some company (that’s inevitably owned by a rich person mind you) to contract with the HOA and do some menial task. WOE IS ME! THE SHAME! How dare I help my community!
Edit: Your mentality is that if you let your community suffer, you refuse to volunteer and do nothing at all… that you might happen to get more taxes to “fix” the issues that volunteers could have handled. So this drives up tax costs… Just for ~325 people (or less if local government) in government to figure out a way to alter and move that money into their pockets. Could have just stopped the money flow from the get-go and kept it in your pocket.
I didn’t change the topic at all though did I? I stated one thing which was that the stated stuff in the article doesn’t necessarily make the rich richer… and implied heavily that it could even make them poorer… since you know… taking time away from actual jobs to do the things that the religious nutters are recommending in this article would meet the criteria.
But you see… the lemmy hivemind can’t comprehend that nuance. So here we are. People blaming me for something that I never said.

Funny how you changed the topic from an arm of the corporate media haranguing people to volunteer to people freely choosing to volunteer…

You know what a job is though right?
