On the one hand the way corporations expect loyalty and devotion all the time in return for a very small percentage of their profits being paid out to us as salary sucks. On the other, having to work if you want to eat is just kind of...life? Not saying we couldn't work on something better as a society, but there's been very few people at any point in human history who didn't have to work hard to survive. I'm glad that I get to at least do soulless work in an office which is mostly just boring instead of hard labor or something actively dangerous.

Nobody is saying work isn't required, but if we only forced people to pay off the debt their existence incurred most people would probably retire before 40
