I have to ask, why are we even working so fucking hard??
What has all of this hard work we've been doing accomplished? Our infrastructure is failing. We're throwing food away. We are wasteful and killing the environment. What has 'hard work as a virtue' gotten us?
Can't we just live our lives??
For 99.99% of the history of our species, we either worked 12+ hours every day including weekends or we literally starved to death. And at times, people starved to death even though they worked that much, because the system stole what they produced.
Dude, I cannot claim to know exactly what you do day-to-day, but generally speaking we are not working hard in 2024.
LMAO only a commie would downvote this.
