    They want to convince us that we “want” to be productive so that it seems to be our decision that we want to be trampled by our bosses, who are the ones who crave that productivity.

      That’s the only difference between a dictatorship and a democracy. A dictatorship can run with dying illiterate slaves and still make a lot of money (see Elons Dad’s small loan of one emerald mine). In a democracy the money comes from the productivity of the citizens. That’s the only reason you get highways, schools, hospitals…

      So they started out by making us more productive by giving a ton of amenities to the boomers. But now they need more, so they are cutting back on things that make us productive, while demanding we be more productive.

      We should just eat the rich.
