imagine the debt clock is work

after the debt clock increases shit will spill over and we will return to work

and then that's known as accelerationism.

Good analogy. 

Isn't there a better way to motivate people to keep the economy going? 

Even up to 2000-ish, people really thought the future would involve 10 hour work weeks and half year long vacations with enough compensation to afford to own a home and pay for health and education. Today they're worried about robots stealing their job. So they're entirely in on the job delusion.
