Working after winning 30 million dollars is perverse
some people do work they actually want to do and there is work in the world that needs doing
tech bro 140k software engineer in silicon valley on some app isn't work that needs doing
Maybe, but if you get to fuck around and enjoy yourself, then why not?
I guess he never heard the song.

You get up every morning from alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushing, people shoving
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slavin' jobs and get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me, I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
[...]
If it were easy as fishing, you could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a secondhand guitar, chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun
You tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid and we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
