People had time maybe for the first time in their lives a prolonged amount of time to ponder shyt like life, lifestyles, happiness, success, mortality... all unhindered.

A lot of people snapped out of the matrix and the lifestyle of living to consume to buy to work to buy and not actually enjoying living. people started putting quality of life FIRST. It was a global wake up call. Our mortality was at question... getting a second lease on life after a pandemic and doing the same shyt again seems self defeating. Mind frames have shifted and goals refocused.

THIS is why the elites have never liked regular people having too much time to THINK. when you are preoccupied with staying alive you don't get the time to do all that thinking. Humans broke structure from work life and we are seeing the results. A lot of people are reprogramming themselves and escaping the outlook of a life consumed with working towards no purpose but to be a consumer. Considering what they actually need to enjoy life. Sometimes it's not more money but more time. Time with yourself, kids, family. Changing your lifestyle to be more conducive to self reliance rather than employment. Overall lifestyle changes that won't be congruent with how the machine of capitalism works. I wholeheartedly welcome the change.

There living off heir girlfriends and paents like true bums

:blessed:

this past year and a half is the first time in my adult life being unemployed for an extended period of time.
thankfully wifey has a good job and has been getting paid throughout the pandemic whether she work was open or not.
unemployment ended in september and that was :beli: but it is what it is.
banked most of it, got rid of my car when i lost my job :hubie: it had been paid off for many years but no insurance and gas saves money.
i realize that i'm luckier than most and have resigned myself to being a mediocre home keeper for the time being. keep the place clean, make dinner, garbage, groceries, etc...:manny:
and taking myself out of the job market puts more pressure on employers to treat employees like human beings.

if you have a problem with how i'm living my life then you can lean back while i suck my dikk.

There are a lot of fast food restaurants here that still haven’t opened the lobby so drive-thru lines are crazy, and people aren’t happy about it. I can understand not wanting to work in fast food due to this being an issue. Being overworked while being disrespected seems like 8 hours of torture.

the last few times i swung by taco bell the drive through line was too long for me to wait.
it's annoying but i completely understand and sympathize.

If only it were that simple. Although this is true about people ordering, it actually plays into the hands of the elite. How long could this realistically go on?


Facts. While people aren’t working making no money the elites are gobbling up everything. nikkas gonna be renters for life

Breh, all of that ain't even going to matter. They are running the inflation machine on high. You'll never catch up. They are doing this on purpose, so the government can take over.

The only choices people are going to have is bow down to the government or basically find another way.
