    Actually, I’d be happy to keep working if it means that everybody on earth gets a decent standard of living.

      Absolutely agree. I don’t have any urge to stop working. But 40 h / 5 days a week is too much. Life is too fucking short especially given how productivity has skyrocketed yet wages have barely kept up.

      Obligatory fuck Ronald Reagan and the Republican party.

    I want to both upvote and downvote this at the same time. So I will do neither, I will just state my opinion…

    This is not a shitpost, this is fact.

    It’s not time stolen from you as the work needs to be done either way, but it’s money stolen from you as you’re either underpaid or paying too much for what you’re buying.

      It is time stolen from you as well. You only need to work a fraction of the time you do in order to cover your wages, the rest of the day is free profit for the Capitalist.
