Elucidating Questions

I think my issue with this writer’s strike

Is not just rich people wanting more money

It’s that people are on their side

When I complain about not making enough money

I’m told to “get a better job”.

Right?

It’s not that they don’t deserve fair pay

It’s that when I ask for bare minimum enough to live on

I’m sponging off the government

Shake shake shake and shut your mouth right?

It’s just hard to see the difference

Everyone deserves enough to live off of

And living shouldn’t just come down to shelter, food, electricity

Living includes enjoyment

Not mega yacht enjoyment

Not paying over half the population slave wages to become billionaires enjoyment

Are humans capable of evil because it’s in their nature?

Or because society breeds it?

Because civilization demands it?

I just wonder what great kindnesses could come from a society that rewards that instead

Money is just an incentive to be cruel

Just incentive to try to keep it away from everyone else

The have mores asking for more is just a symptom of the have it alls having way too fucking much

Inflation due to money being printed to try to offset the fact the billions of our global capital is sitting

But thank god they have money right? Bless those billionaires

Sick of getting by on scraps

People who actually need personal chefs can’t afford them and people who can fucking learn to cook for themselves have ten.

People who can’t afford to take care of their disabilities are choosing “compassionate suicide”, but giving us more money is out of the question

Sick, tired, and hungry all the time. All the time.
