Earth to live in an alien society]

You mean you'd miss being held hostage to wage slavery?

Most New Zealanders work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Australians and New Zealanders are doing better within the past 30
years than ever in know history.

People need food, shelter and clothing in order to live.  On Earth

people

are required to pay money to get these things.  People are forced to

give

their time and abilities to their employer in exchange for money in

order to

buy food, shelter and clothing.  If people do not give their time and
abilities to their employers, they will not survive, they will starve to
death, or die of exposure to the elements.  They have no choice, it's

that

way everywhere on Earth.

No, no, no...

People do have a choice.

No unfortunately, they do not.  It is as described above.

That's freedom !

Nope, that's slavery.

 Freedom is slavery.
