Mental health, physical health (either through labor jobs or sedentary jobs with long hours that don’t allow people to take care of themselves), healthcare being tied to work, excessive traffic, loneliness, poor social habits/relationships, weird retirement (retiring late or not at all because no money/no life developed outside of work identity), etc.
Why does none of this matter to companies? Why isn’t the government doing anything? I feel like when I think about the stressors in my life and people I talk to (older or younger) it seems like a lot stems from this society that puts profit over people and constantly tells US to change rather than the system changing. I don’t want to just accept that this is our lives like our parents did. I want things to change for everyone but I don’t know how or how to do so without putting providing for my family at risk.
This sucks.
