I hate to be the one to break it to you but slavery still exists.

Obviously not. By merit of the fact that Zodium doesn't have to work.

Utopian thinking, yet again

“Bad things still exist, so let’s endorse a totalitarian system that assigns jobs and has killed millions.” Why not taper the sharp edges of the system we have to improve it? Just admit all of you, right or left, just want to fight a war in the streets to find meaning in some perverse way that I don’t fully understand

there is no left-wing in america...

In capitalism nothing is stopping you from capitalizing AND working.

Truer words have never been spoken in Off Topic. I'm not even really following this conversation, but I say something to this effect all the time when people that know my financial situation ask me why I still work so much so it caught my eye. I just don't think I was born to be idle. Keeping up with the Joneses is the biggest trap I see my high earning peers fall into, because you're only really successful if others know you're successful?

Lowkey wealth and local philanthropy have been my aspirations since I was something like 19 or 20. I always wanted to go back to the shithole of a town I grew up in and make it better for the kids that have to grow up there because it had little to offer the youth. It was a hard road to reach those goals and it took about 15 years of busting my ass because I started with less than $1,000 in my bank account and a job at Applebee's. I do have to admit that I'm an outlier in my circles of successful acquaintances and friends as far as those goals go.

No. I just want to work to earn a retirement and raise responsible children along the way.

You can tell when DOmo is most interested because he direct links memes. We all do it sometimes, but Domo is marked by that. This interests him, one of the few times hes bothered to be his real self since Orange Man.
