Working For a Better Society
By Levi Schroeder
In the future, instead of working for money I think we should work for things. The harder you work, the better things you get. For example, if I worked a four hour day, I would have a house but it would not be the best house. But if I worked a nine hour day, I would have a much better house. I think this should be the same system with vehicles, clothing, and food.
Do you ever notice how people can become obsessed with money? I think this system would help. People wouldn’t need money to be happy if they got free education and training to get whatever job they wanted. Everyone picks their job. Then they would decide if they want to work four hours a day, nine hours a day, or 11 hours a day.
I believe there should be a limit to how many hours one is allowed to work so that people are also able to rest and do things they enjoy. I believe that the maximum amount a person should work a day should be 11 hours, so that 13 hours remain to rest and have family time.
If you choose to work four hours a day, you get a “so so” house, vehicle, wardrobe, and grocery selection. If you choose to work nine hours a day, you get a better house, vehicle, wardrobe, and grocery selection. If you choose to work the maximum allowed amount of 11 hours a day, you would get a top notch house, vehicle, wardrobe, and grocery selection. Nobody deals with money. They just get things according to how many hours a day they are willing to work.
What if someone cannot work due to physical or mental limitations, you ask? I also think that healthcare should be free so that everyone is able to receive treatment and get back into the workforce as quickly as possible! With free education and healthcare, everyone can be working and contributing to society!
What do we do about people who are offered free schooling and healthcare and they still don’t want to get a job? Well, this may seem a little mean, but I think they need to be homeless. We all need to learn the lesson that we need to work to have homes, clothes, vehicles, and food.
