But is it the work they need, or is it the social interaction?

All the things she's saying work gives us are things we can find (in more fulfilling ways even) outside of work.

Social interaction and purpose can be found through community and creation. Making things, growing things, cooking things, making music, etc.

People are so stuck in this box of capitalism we struggle to recognize that life could be enjoyable and fulfilling if we gave a shit about one another, but community isn't profitable, hyper-individualism is.
