"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.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
