Most company owners are, especially those that involve manufacturing in countries with low wages. What do they do about that though? Do they pay lip service, or do they pay better wages?

Do they go around blaming the poor for not working, or do they put their focus on the systems designed to extract the value of their work?

You've made your position clear, and it's based on some very false ideas about the 'default' state of humanity. I addressed these ideas but you ignored that.

> Maybe we could work less and keep the standard of living the same.

Yes, we could. No 'maybe' about it.

The reason we don't is the dedicated effort of people who like the status quo as it is, and the people they employ across politics, the military and media to keep the situation as inequitable, extractive, and exploitative as possible.

> maybe we could work the same but live in a much better standard.

We could. But again, we don't, and for the exact same reason as above.
