...That work is a scam in this country. The real rewards are to be had by producing nothing and manipulating the labor of workers in immoral and borderline illegal ways. This is one of the reasons I don't work - there's nothing in it. I'd prefer poverty and free time, since the system is rigged to strip away any value I might produce and redistribute it upward anyway.
