      If I had more money, I wouldn’t change anything about how I live. Right up until the point where I live the same, except without working, which would be an incredible increase in my quality of life

      I just want to spend time with friends and family, while doing my hobbies :(

        tipping culture is a part of the trap, if lures workers into not realizing the value of their own labor, while essentially subsidizing cheapskate businesses

    This needs to be understood, especially in the throes of a capitalist hellscape - currency isn’t the only source of wealth. Emotional fulfilment is a far more valuable form of wealth than money.

    Greenpeace corporate propaganda.

    Be glad you have something to eat

    Be glad you get to sit in the sun

    Be glad you get to socialise

    Be glad you get to go outside

    Wow. So much richness.

          I feel like this is how self made billionaires think:

          Oh my first million…yet Oh my first 10 million…yet Oh my first 100 million…yet Oh my first billion…yet

          You don’t HAVE to be content with your wealth to find happiness at any level.

            tbf, you really learn just how rigged everything is when you get the first million. just enough you start to feel comfortable about going into serious business for yourself perhaps, to leave something behind for your kids or family so atleast 1-2 more people dont have to start from nothing again…then, depending on where you live the local robber barons flex their muscles and try to fuck you around.

            only difference between the cities and rural america is most of these bumfuck city councils have less organized labor to contend with (which, US city-labor is already pretty pathetic)

      My food is modified for volume not taste

      The smog is too thick in the city for real sunlight

      I watch my friends wither away under capitalism, all we can do is hold on together as we drown

      I cannot go outside as the city has removed all the parks

      I am told I am still rich

      How are those not things to be glad over? I’m very glad when I’m able to do those things because I’m not always able to do them. It makes me feel lucky and happy. Anyone who doesn’t feel those are things to be glad over need to check their privilege, they’re spoiled and shitty.

      And I dislike greenpeace too, not defending them at all.
