okay so Kim had the worse take then?

i work two jobs so i can barely maintain the life i have. I can't even advance forward in life working two jobs fam. Inflation is only putting it further in danger.

the fact that we work twice as hard as our parents and 3x as hard as our grandparents to live at what is basically a lower standard is only proof that hard work gets you nowhere if you can't enjoy the full product of your labor

If you're "working hard" and not going nowhere that means you're not really working hard

Working SMART is a part of working hard and it isn't too smart if you think you're working hard and not getting to where you want to be now is it

the notion that a living has to be earned in the 21st century is such a win for propaganda

this is truly semantical. working harder and working smarter mean the same thing when your end product is the amount of "value" you create, primarily in USD. Americans are producing more money from their work than they ever have and yet they're also seeing the smallest proportion of it in America's history

nothing has to be the way it is it's all fabricated bullshit

I can't tell you about your life so we gonna end this here brother

I'm just saying that's a victim type of attitude it's not healthy

Now we're talking

you obviously need to read more economic theory because the system we exist in is only going to get more and more exploitative and "working harder" will eventually truly mean nothing because we physically won't be able to

unless we own the entirety of what value we individually produce then working harder gets us nowhere

GAS IS SIX DOLLARS A GALLON KIM!!!

what they mean is that our society is increasingly immobile economically, so a person can work incredibly hard and still be stuck in the same monetary situation

they dont mean that work is useless in a vacuum. I would even go as far as to say work is not useless under our current system, its just highly unlikely that you will be compensated anywhere close to fairly for it

iight bro you right we're all f***ed the world is doomed

saying ur rich friends work smart and hard is just survivor bias btw

now we're talking

societal collapse incoming

old society, not society itself

these last two pages are whiplash inducing how did this man go from bezos 101 to this ?

yeah new society gonna be back to our tribal roots

unless we Venus this s*** into something utterly unsurvivable

Yessir, and we'll still have to work hard to accomplish anything or get anything done at all so I guess we're back to square 1

i never said that. i said that we have to change our system to allow for something more sustainable aka a system where there is a democratic distribution of economic production

The statement "working hard gets you nowhere" is incorrect that's it

i'm aware, you're twisting my words.

the term i have a problem with is "working hard gets you nowhere, when you can't have what you worked hard for"

If you think you can be rich if just work hard you delusional as f***.
99 percent of wealth is inherited

can't argue with the facts that economic maneuvering, rising from low fiscal class to a higher one, is at an all time low

the ROI from hard work is as low as it's ever been in modern history

I'm not twisting your words that literally what you said
