I couldn't agree more. When promised a growth economy by
the politicians with the hope of thousands of new jobs, I
fail to see it as a desirable thing. Why do so few ask
the simple question, "jobs doing what and for what kind
of pay?" Mindless production jobs manufacturing plastic
trinkets, destined only for the rubbish heap weeks after
purchase, are not worthy of anyone's life energy.
Considering how few people enjoy their employment how do
we best spread the idea that zero-work is a viable
alternative to the current paradigm?

Work to create beauty & satisfy real human needs, not to
create busy-ness, mindless use of resources and additions
to landfills, and profit for the bosses (&too often misery
for the rest of us).
