Woman complains.... this is the opposite of news

Also if feminism hadn't fucked up the west she could have found a man, had lots of kids, raised them, participated in the community and been happy. Instead she has to toil like men because a few, mostly ugly, women wanted to wear pantsuits and larp as corporate drones.

It's neither capitalism nor communism that dictates that. You'd have to be small brained actively propaganda to reduce it to that.

Also, there is a cost of living issue that prevents a lot of people from working less. Given how economically illiterate people are, I have no hope they will actually pinpoint the actual sources of their misery.

And organizations like NBC enable that behavior by doing their damnedest to keep everyone on the "endless consumption" ride. All those morning "news" shows are nothing but a giant infomercial for the latest things middle class people are supposed to blow their paycheck on.

The most hilarious thing is when they publish those "just scraping by on $400,000/year" articles. If you put a gun to my head and forced me to spend that kind of money I don't think I could do it without buying luxury cars or real estate.

“But it shouldn’t be my responsibility to find a better job and fix my problems. Are you proposing I make less money!?”

They had no interests besides work, had shitty family lives, and no hobbies.

I have been telling my boss for going on 15 years -- long before I ever worked for the guy -- that when his kids are grown and out of the house he will regret all the late hours he spent in the office that he could have spent with them; and that it isn't worth being able to climb one rung higher up the corporate ladder.

I can understand the people who found companies doing it, because they're building something for themselves which conceivably could be passed onto their children. But I'll never understand the people who do it so they can have the Director title instead of the Senior Manager title at MegaCorp.

I think its less "work=salvation" and more they have nothing else in life. Some people are just boring and get purpose from work.

There is something to the protestant work ethic and it keeping one from self destructive behavior. The work also is not limited to a job so one can work part time and have a hobby or personal projects. It can be anything productive.

Third: Fucking boomers and protestant types who believe that work = salvation. I've had a lot of managers in my life who could only find purpose by being the type to bill as many hours to clients in a week as possible. They had no interests besides work, had shitty family lives, and no hobbies.

You've met some normalfaggots.

That's a whole lot of graphs with very little information actually being conveyed.

These people spent an entire year demanding the government keep the economy shut down and huge swaths of the populace unemployed. They can fuck right off with this bullshit.
