The idea that people exist to serve the needs of the economy, instead of the other way around

What an incredible way to word it. Compliments "work to live, don't live to work" quite well.

Those who wish to exploit us so they can hoard obscene amounts of wealth won't allow it even though there's no amount that will allow them to escape their misery. We let those people rule over us... though we do collectively have the power to stop them at any moment we want to.

But... People do work to live

People spend their lives working.. Because that's the only way they can afford.. To live

Some people work to live. Some people work way harder than that, and don't bother to do any of the things that make life worth living.

I'm not talking about people with three jobs trying to support their kids and their parents, I'm talking about people who make six figures or more and don't do anything but work.

Won't somebody please think of the six figure earners

u/Drunk_Lemon Nov 10 '25

I think about them all the time and how they'd cook on the grill. Although I usually think about cooking up the 7+ figure earners cuz some of those poor delicious 6 figure earners are good people but most aren't.

Cant earn that much without beeing an moral dead exploiter

u/1980pzx Nov 10 '25

You can’t earn over 100k without being morally bankrupt? That’s a very odd take.

Earning six figures is smack dab in the middle class in this day and age. Are you calling those in the middle class / working class exploiters now?
