"Americans and our obsession with work, have we been hoodwinked? "
I hate how we feel about work in this country. You working? Gotta work, work, work, work.
I used to be against a basic income but I'm all for that shit now.
and this is mostly because I got young kids in daycare and I would rather spend my days with them until they head off to school. My wife on the other hand loves to work. She really thinks good work makes you a good person or a "better" person and while I disagree I want her to be happy. When she works she feels better.
Now this isn't to say I don't want to work at all but I get disgusted when I read about other countries where they take a month off because they value family time and living life.
I need to find a balance.
