So here is my question: If I like to go fishing, and I want a boat, do I get a boat?

It's not a necessity. Not everyone will have one. It's not the most efficient use of resources.

How do I even tell someone that I want a boat? Will I go to a boat store like now? Who will work there? Will it be online, or computerized within the store?

What if I want another boat? What about a sea plane?

There is no work. We all have everything we need somehow. But what about the things we want?

The glaring problem with this entire post-Capitalist economy is that there is no market force to direct the production and distribution of goods. Why would it be so wonderful to not work if I can't enjoy the time I have?
