The rest of the time I play video games, post on forums, chat with randos on the phone..and just generally waste time. I've been sitting around all morning in a towel with a beagle in my lap.
It is insane how the right bemoans the "dream". Lets stop lying and promoting "hard work". That is a bullshit cliche the economic right sells to get workers to chase the carrot on the hamster wheel.
Now of course sweat in life is required. But how many times do you hear parents say, "I did what I did to make your life easier". If work was all about abusing oneself, then why invent anything at all? The Pony Express, delivering mail on a horse was far harder than sending an e-mail. A horse is easier than walking, a car is easier than a horse. Email is easier than snail mail. So lets get over this bullshit that work always needs to be hard.
You only work 13 hours a year. AWESOME, and nobody should begrudge you for that. What I hate about the right is that they want to spread their misery to workers and sell pain as happiness, sell indentured slavery as loyalty.
I didn't make it to the level of pay my mom did. I do know that she did a lot for me. And she saved for me, and as a result I have it easier. I don't know how long her nest egg will last. I do know that if I have my choice of being a rich dick fucking asshole billionaire like 45, or being happy with what my mom gave me, I will take what she gave me over greed.
