Work, and society in general, isn't meant to make us happier.

Right, remember that whole line of the American dream? Life, liberty, and the pursuit of quarterly profits.

Fuck you.

Fuck me? I didn't invent this...

I've observed that work seems to be a system to transfer money from millionaires to billionaires through the working stiff's paycheck.

Oh my god! None of us had any idea that’s how it worked! That’s such a revolutionary observation! We should all just internalize it as an unchangeable thing and accept life ever steeper decline towards a feudalist hellscape!

You’ve offered nothing, but you managed to offer nothing from a pedestal. Maybe just don’t say anything, rather than assume everyone but you can grasp the basic and obvious realities of the situation. Or are you implying we all just roll over and take it?

Got any other cliche’s, or do you have anything real to add to the conversation?
