Really enjoyed this take. I definitely understand your view on exploiting people, his idea comes down to, why would I do it myself when I can get someone else to do it cheaper.
There is obviously merit to his methods and I honestly believe you can implement a good portion of it without taking away from other people, but I think the big thing is that it just isn't feasible for every to do it.
Certain jobs need someone there 40hrs a week, some people may have to support their family because someone is ill, a person may have a wife and kids and doesn't feel comfortable with the risk.
I think, if you are in the position to make this lifestyle work (without putting down or exploiting others) do it, and be grateful that you are in such a position that you can. The world is inherently unfair and as sad as it is, there is no way around that.
