Is it really that soulcrushing? The system itself isn’t problematic, its our stupid primal brains and intellectual lessers who vote against their own interests and refuse to join peaceful organizations to acquire pay raises, breaks, sick leave, etc.

It could all work but we’re our own worst enemies.

It’s like the last election. We are all talking about 100 different things that all matter tangentially but couldn’t focus on the one thing that would probably solve a lot of it.

Americans want financial independence. No one wants to tackle that issue head on, though. They will skirt around it saying, if we had this or that social program but won’t ever commit to making it their platform.

Think if all the children being bullied that could be counseled if parents had time away from work to counsel them. Think of all the children getting pregnant that could be taught about safe sex and responsible relationships if parents had time away from work to parent them. Think of the long term health effects of being constantly stressed about work. Think of all the communities you could build if people had time away from work to build them.

Financial freedom = actual freedom. The GOP and DNC both want you to be wage slaves so that they can place themselves at the top of the hierarchy and create the problems you want them to fix.

Oh look, Mr. Both Sides is here to ignore that GOP keeps giving tax breaks for the rich and raising them for everyone else, here to ignore that Kamala Harris promised all kinds of tax reforms like unrealized gains for people with more than 1M USD in holdings, return of child tax credits, return of student tax credits, and forgiveness of student loans.

Fuck off, Mr. Both sides. You’re who I was referring to as our intellectual lessers.
