Work, and society in general, isn't meant to make us happier.

Right, remember that whole line of the American dream? Life, liberty, and the pursuit of quarterly profits.

Fuck you.

Fuck me? I didn't invent this...

I've observed that work seems to be a system to transfer money from millionaires to billionaires through the working stiff's paycheck.

Oh my god! None of us had any idea that’s how it worked! That’s such a revolutionary observation! We should all just internalize it as an unchangeable thing and accept life ever steeper decline towards a feudalist hellscape!

You’ve offered nothing, but you managed to offer nothing from a pedestal. Maybe just don’t say anything, rather than assume everyone but you can grasp the basic and obvious realities of the situation. Or are you implying we all just roll over and take it?

Have you considered therapy? You sound mentally ill.

Got any other cliche’s, or do you have anything real to add to the conversation?

It fuckin should be. We are all here for a blink of an eye on a spinning rock next to uncontrollable chaos. Let us enjoy the ride and quit squabbling over which idol is right or who has the most manufactured wealth.

Correct. I am merely relaying my observations.
