I'd prefer one liners to three paragraphs of drivel describing your desire to offer nothing productive to the society off of which you wish to live.

Which just proves you're not capable of thinking outside of the current paradigm of today's society & prob shouldn't even bother replying with nothing more to add than your typical fashion eye rolls. But yes yes, most of us are really "contributing" to the human race I'm quite sure, what with all our little predisposed dutiful tasks. You're prob right though. Working three throwaway shit jobs in retail or fast food just to be able to get by where the game is already rigged sounds like a much better idea. What could possibly go wrong? ::)

One thing's for certain. The rewards for the hard-working lifelong 40-hour week are not what they once were. The huge sucking sound of the loss of value of most people's largest investment (real estate) that has been heard from 2008-present is still resounding as a mighty exhale of (other people's) money.

Financially, my family has not even returned to where we were in 2008. We have lost the last six years in terms of housing value and associated investments. We have essentially worked for nothing.

Where did that money go? Is this a system that works satisfactorily for you?

Maybe out the box thinking is called for. The box may be broken.

Well, according to some, something must be wrong with the way you're going about this whole thing. Contribute harder!
