Antiwork

TLDR at the bottom. I had some issues in the job market and had to take a poorly paid job in a big company in the food industry. It was an easy-to-get job, because it had relatively high physical demands and low pay. Because of these circumstances, there are also frequently people getting kicked out.

And of those, liberally we can say that 300 years have been apart of the industrial revolution. And we are to believe that this the best it gets? If hard work is so good for us, why is that I see workers dying at relatively younger ages than the people at the top, most of whom haven't had to work hard?
