Antiwork

Hung out with a friend last night who said “it’s easy to live in America, people just have to much time to complain.”

He said this and I was so taken back I didn’t know what to say. I tried talking about labor shortages and he just dismissed most of it. He kept talking about how it isn’t really hard to live in America you just have to work hard. To give a background he has lived a privileged life never having to worry about money. His parents provided everything for him and his father owns a company which he gave him a job at. He’s constantly talking about money making schemes and how we should all invest more. All this was frustrating to hear since I’m working and putting myself through college full time and my wife is a full time teacher.
