What an absolute waste of a decade. Imagine where we’d be if we had spent this time building a more equitable society. Instead everything is more expensive, you can smell the hate in the air, and people with Masters Degrees are struggling while the worst people on earth are making themselves richer. And I can’t think of one person in my life who supported this or didn’t who is actually doing better as a result of it. A decade of pure misery for no good reason.
I really hate the “no person who works a full-time job should live in poverty” discourse. It should simply be that nobody deserves to live in poverty. We have to let go of the idea that we work in exchange for our worth. People are innately worthy and deserving of the basics.
No, you cannot walk 10,000 steps daily, get 8 hours of sleep, cook every night, clean every day, take care of a family, make time for your own hobbies, and still be productive at work every day. This is not just propaganda, it is nonsense. Free yourself from it.
we need a reset. bad.
everyone’s so mean. and we also just accept mean as normal. yesterday someone was telling me about their boss cussing them out and i was like “yeah so that’s still unacceptable even if you snapped back!”
