  • I don’t get it either. It’s my only “me” time unless I’m working on my car at night. But I put on a podcast or audiobook in the garage usually (not always). I like having SOME time when I can just… Exist. Alone. In hot running water. With nothing but my thoughts.

    But tough times have given me tons of mental fortitude to get through just about anything and perhaps not everyone’s brain is wired the same. I suspect for someone with severe anxiety, it’s very different and being alone with their thoughts might be the worst thing. And anxiety disorders are pretty common these days from what I’ve heard

    If you want to be able to take off whatever day you want, surely you should also expect to be paid less because there has to be an extra employee on payroll that comes in with near-zero notice whenever you text “not coming in” in the morning?






  • Replying from my other account because I’m too lazy to relog into sopuli on my phone but:

    It’s not that simple. Take the US. Billionaires collectively own about 10 trillion. Boomers collectively over 80 trillion. You take every single cent away from billionaires and you barely make a difference in people’s ability to retire. I mean you should still do that. But money that isn’t backed by labor or goods moving around in the economy is kinda useless and you need people to produce said goods and provide services. All that billionaire moolah is mostly predicated on everyone holding all their stock because stock values fall apart when people sell. You could sell a few million worth of stock and cause that company’s value to go down a billion. It’s smokes and mirrors.


  • Other age groups don’t entire half the damn economy. Boomers are a class unto themselves.

    Billionaires collectively own about 10 trillion in the US, Boomers collectively over 80 trillion.

    Just going with the US because it’s the best known example. It’s not very dissimilar in other western countries but the US is the worst I believe.
