We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living.

Don't worry, Bucky, the DUmmies are WAY ahead of you.What a pantload from yet another hypocrite. RB Fuller was a brilliant man, but grew up (a) privileged, and (b) disregarded his family and their needs as he sought out Universal Truth or whatever it is liberals go looking for.
Doesn't mean the DUmmies won't lap it up:

There's plenty of things that need to be done, but under a 'free market' system no one is willing to pay for most of them.
Funny you should mention that, DUmbass. You'd think an anti-ratrace freethinking liberal futurist "citizen of the Universe" Bucky Fuller would make his inventions part of the public domain, so people could take them and implement them. This would be consistent with his philosophy that we work for the betterment of others. Golly, wonder why Bucky had so many PATENTS, the point of which is to keep invention and innovation OUT of the public domain:
