It would unleash the enormous creative potential that lays dormant within the hearts and minds of so many office workers, toiling away as their best ideas and dreams wither away.

This argument is often made by the Left, but it simply isn't true. Creative people create regardless of their circumstances. Non-creative people cannot create anything of value, no matter what government stipends are thrown at them.

I did more creative work when I was putting in 40-50 hour weeks in an office than I do now as a small business owner with much more control over my time.

People tend to be at their most creative when they are hungry. It’s called “motivation.”

Too right. If you ever needed something done in a busy office it was given to the one that worked the hardest...the complaint was, the reward for hard work, is more hard work. But it was always the busiest of us that got more work to do. It is the busy, hard working ones who carried the load for the goof offs. Anna’s little idea is just more of the same. She sounds like a lay-about coming up with goofy ideas where she can dodge work by being “creative”. Goofball!!!
