Well obviously because it wasn't my decision to have a life in the first place. How is it fair to have existence foisted upon you by your parents, but they have no responsibility for the life they create?

And that's the way it should be. A fairer distribution of the value of labor is something that absolutely should be implemented.

But the reality is that working till you can't work anymore is the way life works. It's not an evil plot by nefarious masterminds. If you dropped out of society, you'd never be able to retire.

Ask that question to the CEOs, business owners, landlords, etc. that make exponentially more money than the average worker w/ only a fraction of that labor.

I work a labour intensive job & I do provide energy for people. I'm saying that most jobs created are simply in place to service the fact that you have to repay a home that takes you your whole life. There's still a lot of jobs that don't service the wider community
