Almost feels like my brain is broken or some shit.
I’m looking at the pricing of houses in my area and comparing it to my salary, and how the actual fuck is anyone affording a house these days? We’re talking almost half a million for a house that takes <2 days to build and is practically an irl copy and paste of some of the homes down the street. What the actual fuck. It seems like I’m the only one (though I know I’m not) who sees how this is completely at odds with everything I learned about the world.
Also, so salaries. How the fuck are they determined? Because it certainly isn’t the result of how much actual work you do, I’m making nearly six figures and I do jack shit yet I’m supposed to just be OK with how morally repugnant that is, as if I’m not also a piece upholding the same utterly corrupt system as well?
Fuck if I know, I try to say this shit to people irl and they just tell me that the world’s not fair blah blah blah. Yeah homie, “not fair” is quite possibly the biggest understatement ever.
I very much understand what people say when they say that money is not real. Feel free to grill my complete ignorance of Econ too if you wish, maybe it’s just something I’ll never understand
Also yeah the less valuable work you do the more money you make.
500K for a manufactured home. Takes less than two days to build
It’s all a cheap joke man I want off this ride
Also, just the natural result of completely normalizing the phrase “life’s not fair”
People pretty much gave the bourgeois clearance to wreck havoc beyond comprehension on the planet because “life’s not fair” I guess 🤪
As if it were a tenant in some dogma of capitalism
Life inherently isn’t fair. But you know what society and government can be used to do…? Mitigate that unfairness
Are you saying the people with power should use said power to marginally improve things?
Preposterous
Nah, the real natural result of that is carbon-negative pork harvests
It's the other way around.
The more money you make in your position, the less valuable work falls on you to do.
