My ideal world does not use money.

    So how much work are you willing to do for free?

    Is it that your ideal world does not use money, or you're the only one who can get paid?

    As for me, since it begs the question, I was raised on Star Trek, so I too like the idea of an ideal world where money isn't needed. But I also have bills to pay, and I'm not ashamed to admit I would not work for free, because that would mean getting my lights and Net cut off, and losing my home. Some people do crazy things for their ideals, risking their very safety and lives. Like Greta Thunberg a month or two ago bringing humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people (or rather attempting to do that; she was caught, detained, and ridiculed by the Israelis for it). Most people wouldn't risk it though. But it's okay to talk about it online, but in real life? We all gotta pay the bills.

    Musicians, too.
