Work for most folks is psychological slavery. Every waiter/waitress I see is obviously depressed. Every fast-food worker low key hates their life. Even a lot of teachers I know can’t stomach going back to school.
This is why everyone is trying to “get rich quick” online. They don’t want to make a bunch of money for nonsense luxuries. They want to wake up and not hate their lives.
As someone who escaped a wage-slave life thanks to cryptocurrency, it’s the best thing in the world.
And for every one of us “opting out” it gives our fellow workers more bargaining power against these stingy business owners.
