I think the thing that frustrates me the absolute most about American society is that nobody can ever really feel like they can just not work for any length of time because every last iota of human existence has been assigned a dollar value.
All those people that blather about other people "not wanting to work" are just the poor suckers who are too blinded by their own chains to see the truth. It's not that people don't want to work or don't want to do anything -- it's just that capitalism has made it so that they can't do what they want or what they would because it likely doesn't make them enough money to live on. And that required dollar amount keeps going up and up and up.
There's a lot of things I would do, even for a short amount of time, to help out my neighbors and my community if I didn't have to constantly worry about the fact that every minute I spend working has to have a certain monetary level attached to it so that I can continue to live and somebody, somewhere, has decided that the things I would do or could do aren't worth enough money for me to do.
It's so exhausting. Everything costs, all the time.
