In light of Vivek’s comments that Americans don’t pursue excellence, pursue excellence at reducing GDP through workplace laziness and negligence(that causes loss, not injury), anticonsumerism, and reminding others that products/services used to be better so why bother buying them new now?

“won’t that effect my quality of life?”

They’ve been steadily reducing your quality of life, forcing 2 incomes for survival, and are literally conning and murdering you through health insurance and food safety abandonment.

Make Greed Contemptible Again.

    The owner class: No one wants to roll up their sleeves to do a hard days work anymore! Shameful!

    Also the owner class:

    I had a work ethic, got a masters in a helping profession, just to find out it was my job as a psychologist for poor populations to prioritize getting suffering poor people back into the jobs ASAP, after providing some coping exercises and pills to dull the pain, that drove them to a breaking point or desperate crime to begin with, in the 3-6 whole sessions they were allotted, while ratting them out for confiding in me that they smoked a joint to their parole officer.

    Eventually I couldn’t take part in it anymore, and certainly couldn’t pursue providing therapy to the willfully ignorant with infinite budgets that don’t even care what their gluttinous lifestyle demands inflict below them.

      Sincerely, thank you. And you have my full respect. It was precisely such honesty which got me out of a self-deprecation spiral, when one therapist proposed that maybe I just hate myself because the world taught me to.
