"Imagine a world where there isn't any work" may be the longest-playing commercial for crime. I can't imagine a world where there isn't any work--and neither can anyone else, because such a world cannot exist. We all eat the food others worked to grow, process, transport, sell, and perhaps prepare. We wear the clothing others worked to make. We drive cars others worked to manufacture. We drive them on roads others worked to pave. We live in houses others worked to build, lit by electricity others worked to produce. Other people work to bring our mail and take away our trash. There can't be a world without any work. We live in a world made of work--no one can live in a pipe dream. The only place where no one works is jail.
If you'd like to imagine an earthly paradise, why not imagine a world where everyone works?
