Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
when I was 24 I asked myself what I wanted out of life. I had two choices, family or early retirement. I chose early retirement, got an easy job with California and have been chill ever since. I refuse to play their game. fuck the hamster wheel
Towards the end, I'm amazed that the guy who commutes four hours each way (on a bicycle) isn't bothered by the privilege that others have. I'm not saying that he has to personally dislike the people who have it better. Rather, I would be furious at the conditions that allow such a disparity to exist. Positive thinking means fuck all when the deck is stacked against you.
And before I get the standard issue, "Well, are you saying he should just be defeatist and give up," no, that's not at all what I'm saying. You can think constructively about your situation while still harboring pessimistic views about the economy and society writ large. I've managed to do okay for myself in IT, but I don't owe a dime of that success to positive thinking and the entire bullshit industry that brainwashes Americans.
No solutions mentioned. Title says it all. Saved you 20 minutes.
