    Either nothing humans do is natural, or everything is.

    Democracy and human rights aren’t natural. Capitalism isn’t natural. Or they both are.

    People do like to work, the caveat being that they generally don’t want to work with virtually nothing to show for it. The modding community is massive, and they almost never get paid. People love to bake, or draw, or garden, or volunteer, all without fiduciary compensation.

    But when people make it where they have to “get a job” to survive, the love of the labor disappears.

      Costco has a low turnover rate because they’re paid a living wage. Hell, even (ugh) Chick-fil-A pays their teenage employees decently.

      I agree that most people absolutely want to work; the two most important factors are choice of labor and not being treated like shit - either by compensation or other mistreatment.

      Those are hobbies, not jobs. That’s why they recommend them to retired people.
