I'm suffering. I'd like some of your money, please. I'll send you my venmo email. Thanks, I appreciate it.

Do you think this is some kind of clever counter argument? It just reveals that you think helping your fellow humans is a ridiculous idea.

No I'm literally suggesting you send me cash. Help your fellow human.

Yes, that's exactly the idea. This is called "mutual aid".

But are you really helping them? On the surface it would seem so, just give them money. But as always reality is much more complex.

work -> to get money -> spend on the product of work vs get money -> spend on the product of work

Does work have no value? The price of any given item will increase with the ammount required to make it worth while for somone to do and not just ride the handout. Production will plumit and costs will skyrocket.

An old adage, Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Force a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Another way to think about it is as an energy system. As work is put in the energy in the system increases. The system currently has stored energy, but if you stop putting in energy and just consume it, in time you will deplete it.
