I am interested in other’s opinions on this issue.
To what degree do economic policy and financial institutional arrangements contribute to complicating these issues?

Idleness (caused by a lack of jobs, or the ability to gain employment) Richard Murphy

Then why do so many people hate their jobs?

Again, here's a conflation of WORK (good) with wage slavery as if the former requires the latter. Indeed, per the Bible, working for wages should be the EXCEPTION for citizens, not the norm.

You can roll those evils up into the narrative of artificial scarcity.

Then there's consumerism, which hurts the planet.

Infidelity.

I recall this Tom Jones interview many years ago where he says how much he loves his wife and in another interview bragging about how many women he's slept with. How would you like to have that dick for a father?

I wouldn't mind having that dick's inheritance.
