isn't it nuts how sanity perfectly aligns with the interests of bosses, landlords, and neoliberal lobbyists?

    I mean, it's basically any Sunday night x100. At no time are we really allowed to not be thinking about work. And again, that's true no matter where you are in life. Going to school? Because you want to get that good job when you're done. Joining the military? It's because they'll give you real world experience. Have a job? You should be thinking about how to become management. Hate working for people? Start your own business where you pay twice the taxes for half the money and no time off. How's your insurance? How's your retirement? Are you saving enough?

    Meanwhile you pay for gas, transportation, parking, clothes, and food for the luxury of going to make other people money. And that's the real kick in the balls: you could quit but that would actually be worse. So the only thing shittier than working is being unemployed.

    There is literally no such thing as getting ahead. There's no making it. There's no destination; just more journeys in misery. And if you complain or merely point out how this is all less than ideal, you're the problem. You're the one with something wrong.

    Basically. You're fucked.

      I know I am going to die anyways so I am fucked either way. I am just working as hard as I can to end up doing a job where I feel satisfied within my labor. Hoping to be a teacher. I grew up poor, I know how to be poor, but I do not know how to cope with working 10 hours a day just making a boss richer.
