i’m dreading returning to work

Had a 3 days weekend, and now as at the end of every weekend i'm dreading the idea of returning to work and its not even a bad time at work, things should go decent and no major bad events should come along, but it just stresses me out so much. And its been the same every single weekend, every single vacation. Every single week waiting for the end, during the weekends just being dead and stunned by the fact that two days are not enough. Im only 24, been working for only a bit over 3 years, and this is the rest of my life ? I know this exact post might already exist, I just wanted to express my thoughts. Man, this feels wrong. I am so envious of people who are born rich enough that they dont need to work, or people who find a way of…

Office work is modern Feudalism

It took me a while, but it finally dawned on me. Some rich guy moves to a place he likes, let's say a random beach in California. Only a few people around. He sets up his giga factory there and hires everyone he can. He creates a little boom in the town. So more people move there. He needs the best and brightest to make his factory work, so he pays more—just the cost of doing business. The pay goes up and up because he is making hand over fist and staying competitive with the market. People move and settle down and buy homes near the factory. After a generation and the area around the factory booming housing prices go up. People think of homes as an investment so when new developments try to build they petition the government to block it. So now we have the rich guy in…

Landlords wage expectations are bullshit

I just literally cannot move into an apartment any where within 25 miles from me because the landlords expect me to make 26,000 a year. Trouble is the max you will ever get in my area is 22 grand. The worst is that on 22,000 I could easily pay rent each month but for some reason they want so much more from you. My two choices are: Never move out of home or relocate to a city far from me, fine I accept that the 2nd choice is necessary but what if I loved my home town and wanted my own place? I'd be shit out of luck.

Some simple math for y’all to use.

Here’s a fun hypothetical: You make 1,000 dollars a day. In a year, 365,250 (accounting for leap years) In a decade, 3,652,500 In a century, 36,525,000 Let’s change the hypothetical, 1,000/hour 24 hours a day. Simple math, multiply our last result by 24. 36,525,000 x 24 = 876,600,000 If you make 1,000 dollars an hour, unbroken, for a century, you still aren’t a billionaire. Nobody in human history has or ever will deserve that wealth. No amount of showboating or “philanthropy” justifies it (Looking at you Bill Gates) Every day a billionaire continues to be a billionaire is an absurd crime given the good those resources could do.
