9-5 doesn't even do most people's work days justice.
It's more like 6-5 with a commute. If you're lucky enough to not work two jobs. And even then your "second job" of living life is condensed to about 4 hours before you do it again.
Unless sleep isn't relevant.
You're time here is more finite than Bitcoin.
And the commute is added onto the 6-5 as a surplus. Those are just the hours.
I've been thinking quite a bit about it today
I'm almost 40, I've been in this system since I was 6
Monday to Friday, Mmrning till evening, with hardly any time for myself. And for what? So that I don't end up homeless? Waiting til I'm almost 70 so that the government can finally tell me I'm too old of a slave to go on and that they'll now pay me from other people's money so that I can live out my days without starving?
Fuck this dystopia. Fuck #fiatslavery
And those "benefits" we work so hard for are rapidly being debased to the point they won't even be there when we reach that age.
Because lobbyists and powerful interests have syphoned all the value out of it and spent all the money (and much more) we supposedly pay into these programs to help our fellow humans.
All
to pay for perpetual war games over a failing "global reserve currency" you can trade for the oil they say is bad. Or something.
The trick is to realise this is nothing else but a system of slavery and to then find a way to opt out
#Bitcoin is the best solution for this I've found as it allows you to remain part of the society but at the same time it gives you back your freedom
I remember when they told us that computers would revolutionize society, with work being done so much more quickly that humanity would have so much more leisure time to enjoy the fruits of the labor being done by transistors rather than humans,
They probably said that about the internet too. And they'll say it about AI. It's amazing that productivity continues to improve almost exponentially, but we still don't have all that leisure time that we were promised again and again. It's almost like something or someone(s) is sucking up all that improvement into a black hole of wealth for itself.
Almost..
But at the same time I don't see all that reasonably replacing manual labor unless it's from top down and all the small laborors are snuffed out by some corporation with enough money to actually automate everything.
Even as a machine operator, with basic programming skills. Someone still needs to make the stuff. Someone still needs to perform maintenance. Someone still needs to change the tools. All this talk of automation might work for a chash register, but I don't see it replacing skilled workers.
So I guess I'll just work til I'm dead for bad money. Or save in a better one 🤷🌽🫡
