I doubt that many people really love their jobs, if they had full consciousness of the choices, like what other people's jobs are like, long vacations, and the joy of not working at all. American workers also don't understand that they work themselves to death in order to buy worthlesss trinkets and indications of "wealth." I find it hard to believe that *anybody* would find *any* work at Wal-Mart pleasing if they knew about the alternatives.
Don't work, it only encourages them,
