god its fuckin arrogant to assume your experience is the correct one. guess what im happier working in a more intelligent envorinoment, with nicer people, doing less days work, for the same money, and spending more time with my kids. only a moron would claim that my personal experience is "wrong"

never mind how fuckin hypocritcal you are, denigrating people who work on computers but spending all day posting on a forum (written by people coding) about computers and also playing computer games


how do you feel about john nobody, comes from a poor home, works labour every day since its the only job he can do. he can't afford a house, his wife works a different but similar job. their kids are ok.. they go to school. little john wants needs some new shoes but they just dont have the money yet. will they ever take that road trip to see california? not for a very long time, they're still paying off fixing the transmission in their car. john doesnt sleep well, he has a lot of financial stress in his life, he thinks he might have bowel cancer because of the pain in his gut but he can barely afford to see a doctor, let alone any of the treatment if his fears turn out to be true

someone comes a long and offers john a job, in a office than offers ehating in the winter, for more money... i guess he shouldnt take it though right?

there is a good reason why things like poverty and manual labour and alcoholism/substance abuse are all found together, and its not just because substance abuse is agghressively marketed at the manual labour parrt of the popoulation

dont get me wrong. i dont think manual labour is bad, and it should certainly pay better, i mean its work that has to be done and disrespecting someone because they work manual labour isntead of something else is hosed up and not what i am about

labour is working for a small wage, and enriching your employers. some labour is doing things like : building large offices for brain workers to work in comfortably
