It's funny how obviously anti-worker 'you should take leave less often for the sake of the economy' is. Turns out people going on holiday and doing recreational activities is actually kinda important to large parts of our service economy aside from any issues of dignity and ethical behaviour

there is enough.
there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe.

Ask yourself if kids prefer toys, or stores. Games from a generation ago were allowed to be toys. Games today are forced to be stores.
