My friend hates his job, is getting fat, is losing his hair, and just rolled in with a new Rivian.
What kind of reasoning is this?
“I work hard, so I deserve an awesome car.”
What if you had an adequate car, worked less hard, and kept your hair?

What a success for corporate America that it can convince a super well-educated man that he should trade his life to acquire a thing that is being marketed to him.
It's also convinced three generations of women to devote their lives to generating corporate profits, instead of prioritizing family.
Sadly, almost no one seems to think this way. We're the richest people in the history of the world, so obviously we don't need to work ourselves to death anymore.
