Fuck Work

Why do we tolerate this?

Today in my travels as a deliverer of mostly Temu crap and other assorted freight i stopped in at one of my regular stops. The woman who runs the store there who i deal with all the time had a big gift basket on her desk. Her co-workers had given it to her to commemerate 42 years in the job.

42 years! She would literally have gotten less time for murder.

At what point do we look back on our lives, realise most of it was spent slaving away at a job we don’t love and getting paid just enough to not starve and become outraged at the lost time?

At what point do we demand better? Why do people accept wage slavery as “just the way it is” and do nothing to change it?

I saw an article recently claiming that Universal Basic Income (UBI) would lead to laziness and substance abuse and that work gives us “meaning” somehow.

What a load of shit! What meaning is there in forcing yourself to get up every morning to go to a job you hate that barely pays enough to survive? So what if a majority of people did spend their days playing video games and drinking beer? Is that any less futile than working a shitty job?

There has to be something better than this.
