Kind of unrelated but sorry that you are currently unmedicated. I have found that it's nice to take a break of like one day from my medication but, in line with the point of the article, I find life too difficult to handle unmedicated for more than a day at a time.

I’m going to take it a step ahead and say no one has ever wanted to work the kind of hours most people work. Left to their own devices people might work 15 hours a week but very few would voluntarily work 40-60 hours per week. It’s always been about it being a necessity for survival.

Wealth inequality will destroy America. Tax wealth. Tax wealth violently.

People don’t want to work anymore, but they keep expecting more from their already debt loaded governments - the free ride has to end at some point.

A bit "edgelord" and really not sure, but I sense schizophrenia too.

OMG the swearing on this article. Whatever message the author wanted to convey is lost on me - I could not go beyond the first paragraph.
