The machine that gives the money machine value is goods and services. Humans sell their goods, skills or labour to the highest bidder. It doesnt get any more free.
Motivated people unlike Cliff with no fortitude, confidence, personality, or intelligence can always find work to be able eat, have a home, raise children without suffering or they can piss it away, live in a camper in the woods drinking and doing dope but you will not starve or die from treatable maladies.
Discipline and mastering a skill sets even a ditch digger up. The most disciplined and skilled ditch digger will always make more and enjoy life more than the lazy undisciplined stoner with a shitty attitude.
