Sure thing, here you go:

In 1926, the average worker had a wife at home to take care of chores. The average household worked 40 hours a week. Then, women entered the workforce. That's great, but it caused some problems. Now the average household works 80 hours a week, and we have to spend most of our free time working on chores. It's not sustainable.

In the past 100 years, work efficiency has improved massively thanks to automation and machines. But instead of working less, we're working more. Think about supply and demand: when there's too much of something available, it becomes worth less. Corporations don't respect your time or your energy at work, because you've got twice as much competition in the labour market. They can replace you like that.

The rich are getting richer, and the workers are getting poorer, because we're doing too much work. We need to go back to doing 40 hours a week per household, like we did 100 years ago. That's why I'm pushing for a 20 hour full time workweek to fix the economy.

Minimum wage will be the same across the week, which means everyone gets paid twice as much per hour. But you only have to spend two and a half days a week at work. This means corporations will have to work harder to get your time. It means higher wages and salaries. It means less corporate waste, and less money for billionaires. It means you get a four day weekend to catch up on your chores, and actually make time for your hobbies. It means you get to relax, and the economy gets better for everyone.

It's all their fault, if we get rid of them everything will be perfect forever always.

You aren't poor because you don't work hard enough. You're poor because the rich are sucking up all your wealth.

[โ€“] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

You're doing good, and you're enough. But you could (and owe it to yourself, and the people that care about you) to do better. Tomorrow, we're gonna be a little better. And the next day? A little better. We'll have days we backtrack, but overall, we're going to keep improving. Tomorrow, are we going to eat slightly more healthy (think switching chips for nuts or something like that) or are we going to be slightly more active (like 3 more minutes of walking)?

[โ€“] Gonzako@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Look at this cutie! Are you lost? Hold my hand.

That's more of a .ml thing in my experience

[โ€“] Beth@piefed.social 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You should eat more vegetables, take your vitamins, brush your teeth twice a day, and give your animals some scritches. Sleep more also.

You bet! Knowing that you want someone to tell you what you want to hear is a perfect example of self-actualization. You've combined your own desire for group interaction with the confidence of an individualist โ€” and that's the game right there. Personal, but not pretentious; informed, but wanting input. And we're only going up from here.

I can definitely do that and it will accomplish exactly what you want it to!

Sure! get any remote job that pays ~$500 USD equivalent per month and live abroad.

You'll be down to working a couple hours a day maximum and can pursue your interests, hobbies or get to know yourself and figure out what you want to do next.

details over in the travel community. or ask here.

Dude, you should try ChatGPT.

It's great at doing that. You're, like, the one person on earth it's perfect for.

[โ€“] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

ChatGPT wont drive me into a frenzied outrage about topics that dont effect me in the slightest. Needless to say, its just not the same.

Well, not with that attitude!

But it certainly has for others in the past.

You did the right thing in life!

I can tell you what you need to hear and you'll get mad initially but you'll eventually follow if you're wise. ๐Ÿ˜
