    It’s just really boring I guess. As a kid I didn’t realize how pointless it all is. Go to work, make money to pay bills, be tired after work and watch TV…

    Thank god for working from home, it gives some relief from the process.

    But yeah, it’s the same in communist countries I guess… Just without all the stuff we can buy.

      That’s more or less American capitalist propaganda. Those are not the only options, and there are prosperous nations with regulated capitalism and strong workers rights where people have stuff and also have time to live life. They just don’t spend most of their money on the military.

        Yeah I know, I’m not American myself. It’s absolutely possible to have a balance, but it requires companies to not be so rich and above the law that they can control the laws.
