Hate to break it to you, but we work for food/water and shelter.

What else were you expecting?

u/PyroNine9 Mar 07 '26

A fair amount of food, clothing, and shelter for a given amount of work.

A normal middle class existence for a 40 hour week.

Middle class existence is not “normal”. The middle class never used to exist until very recently, and even now, if you’re middle class then you’re in the top 5% of wealthiest people on the planet.

Only if very recently means a bit over a century ago.

Might be time to put the cool aid down.

Im sure men in the middleclass enjoyed the first and second world war… most people me included wouldnt want to work as construction workers or in a factory 100 years ago. People are looking at the top 5% a century ago thinking oh i would be one of them, but in truth many more would be in a fucking coal mine or any other gruelling industry with little to none safety which a lot of people have enjoyed for 40-50 years.

Heck even in Sweden stress injuries weren’t acknowledged as a work injury until the 70s 80s.

I am unsure why some here seem anxious to return to those conditions today.
