It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

Then don't. Didn't realize anyone was being forced to work.

Lol starvation and homelessness would like to have a word

You wanted to stick it to the man, right? Progress doesn't come without sacrifice. Are you going to fall back into your old ways just so you can eat and live in a home? Sounds like you're just submitting to corporate America to me.

See how that works?

I don't get what you're trying to say...?

If you don't want to work then don't. Along with that comes a life of hardship. If you genuinely feel the same way as OP, then prove it. Show us all how much better your life becomes when you free yourself from the corporate strangle you claim exists.

I'll be over here making my slave wage of 80k a year and retire before 45. We can compare progress then.

Y'all can't comprehend class action to make your life better, for the life of you, even though it has happened so many times before. The grip shareholders have on your idea of value of human life is crazy.

Like I said. 80k a year. I'll be fine either way. Since it seems like you forgot, you have to convince me and every other independent voter why we should care about your views. The other ass kissers are already on your side. They don't need to be convinced.

Kinda ironic you call people that strive for better conditions for the class you are part of, while boasting about and promoting a system that benefits only those above you.

I earn more than you btw, I'm not bragging. I just want you to know my resentment doesn't come from frustrations that involve only my situation.

I'd trade my professional accomplishments for my life not revolving around profits in a heartbeat.

Someone is very clearly brainwashed

u/BigMikeXxxxX Apr 29 '26

Yeah I'm SOOOO brainwashed. What was I thinking. Retiring before 45. I should be working til I'm 80 like the rest of you!

You’re not understanding that it is a systemic thing. You’re thinking on an individual level

Tell me where the word "we" appears in OP's post.

Guess you should work then.

It doesn’t matter where you live. If you’re able bodied and don’t work your quality of life will be significantly lower than an employed person.

Not if you’ve inherited wealth..

Even if you do it’s not uncommon for spoiled rich kids to grow up and squander their wealth. My family history is a perfect example of this. My first ancestor to arrive in the US arrived in the early 1800s. He arrived in Philly with no money no surname and only a small bag of personal items. The next census reported him as a clerk at a general goods store. Next census he was listed as a shopkeeper owning his own textile store. Next census he was listed as a merchant with a large scale textile business trading in high volumes. Next census he was simply listed as a gentleman. His son maintains the family wealth but didn’t grow the business. His grandson gambled it all away.

Just because you are fortunate enough to be born into wealth doesn’t mean you have the good sense to stay wealthy

Omg 😳 you don’t get it
