The expectation that people in office jobs can be productive for 8 hours per day.
I am productive for less than an hour a day. I don’t do anything. I have nothing to do. I drive for an hour each way to sit and do absolutely nothing so I can feed and house my family.
Some days I have to convince myself not to drive my truck into something at 85 mph. No person is meant to live like this.
The alienation of labor is real. Hang in there, we’ll need you when things get better.
Housing prices and incomes… Absolute insanity
People. “This is fine, the world is fine, our societies inverse robin hood economy is fine, climate change is no big deal, ecosystem collapse is no big deal, wars? Those are overseas and we’re not in them. Yeah, we’ll be fine.”
Speed humps. On my daily 5km drive, there are about a dozen of them each way.
I have a 900kg car with sports suspension, and I need to slow almost to a stop for many of them.
Meanwhile people in 2500kg road-blimps are blasting through without slowing.
Most are bumps in the road that taper on the sides. Vehicles with a wide enough wheelbase miss them amlost entirely, whereas my 1.6m wide car gets launched into the air.
The greater the kill capacity of your vehicle, the less you are affected by these “safety” devices.
News and people giving a shit about sports ball.
People being terrified of cities and public transit.
Bars with parking lots.
Religion, nothing but group psychosis
