Here I am sitting at work and I literally can’t bring myself to focus on anything work related. I guess this is the “quiet quitting” everyone is talking about. Yet all I am doing is festering in the question ‘is this really all life is?’ and counting down the minutes til I go home at 5.
– 5 days a week at 8 hours a day is not sustainable. With getting ready, commuting, trying to workout, run errands, and other things that barely leaves time for you to sleep. And many have to work two jobs cause everything is expensive and living without an additional income is even harder. Is this supposed to be life?!
– Everyone is fucking miserable and can barely enjoy life so no wonder people are losing their shit everywhere.
– This system is corrupt – bottom line. I won’t be able to retire at this point and can’t cause of the way everything in this country revolves around money and corporations. I’m terrified the hospital I end up going to in old age will just let me die as it won’t be profitable to keep me alive.
– Is this the American dream? Work constantly just to have life pass you by and then you die? They won’t even bury you if you don’t have the money.
It’s not fucking socialism or communism to take care of your own people! It’s humanism and American capitalism is the devil! If I hear one more conservative republican say ‘no one wants to work’ or ‘they shouldn’t have to pay for a measly 10k in debt relief’, I am going to lose it. I have worked my whole life non-stop since the age of 16 and have barely anything to show for it. The system is meant to keep you down.
I propose a 3 day work week, 4 hours a day with full benefits and full living wage if they want society to flourish.
Rant complete. Thank you.
