Antiwork

Keep up the good work, antiworkers!

I've been fascinated by this subreddit for the past year or so. I eventually joined to get its posts added to my feed. And y'all have changed me. Over the past several years, I've gone from a pretty staunch conservative to more of a right-leaning moderate. And over the time that I've been on r/antiwork, I've changed my views on some pretty important things, like unions and strikes, a strengthened belief that we need to raise the federal minimum wage (and not by just a little bit), and that the tax system we have unfairly benefits the uber-rich.

I've been fascinated by this subreddit for the past year or so. I eventually joined to get its posts added to my feed. And y'all have changed me.

Over the past several years, I've gone from a pretty staunch conservative to more of a right-leaning moderate. And over the time that I've been on r/antiwork, I've changed my views on some pretty important things, like unions and strikes, a strengthened belief that we need to raise the federal minimum wage (and not by just a little bit), and that the tax system we have unfairly benefits the uber-rich.

I'm still to the right of most on this subreddit, and many of my comments have been downvoted to oblivion (which didn't surprise me, nor did it turn me off to this community). But I've also had some really interesting debates and discussions with the folks who are willing to spend time engaging with someone who doesn't see eye-to-eye with them. I appreciate those folks especially (u/AnotherOneWhatWill, I still have reading up on Georgism on my to-do list!), but I also think highly of everyone else on this subreddit.

As I move into 2023, this GenXer will work to keep his mind as open as possible. Thanks for all that you're doing to change the culture.
