A little rant about our way of life.

I experience significant frustration when trying to navigate a system that, while it may appear commendable at first glance, ultimately reveals itself to be profoundly disappointing in its implementation. Capitalism, which once emphasized the interests of consumers, has transformed into a structure primarily designed to serve a select few. As a result, we find ourselves donning inexpensive, poorly constructed garments made from substandard materials, while consuming heavily processed foods filled with harmful additives, all in the pursuit of a meager annual profit margin of merely 2%. You will be required to work at least 40 hours per week for a wage that barely meets the minimum threshold, in a role that you find unfulfilling, as your value is perceived to be low for reasons that remain unclear. The label of "unskilled labor" allows the elite to assign a minimal financial worth to your contributions, despite the fact that you are subjected to a 40% tax rate and face exorbitant prices for necessities that have now diminished to a mere quarter of their former size. When you attempt to access public services, what happens? You may encounter a wait time of 30 hours due to an overextended workforce, as the government prioritizes expenditures on "defending democracy" rather than investing in the welfare of the general population. I desire to work, but I question the rationale behind it. I am faced with the prospect of either starving to death or earning minimum wage, which forces me to go hungry for ten days out of the month. Minimum wage has not increased in years; it has only "risen" to keep pace with inflation, and even then, it has only increased by 2% when inflation itself stands at 4%. The manager sought to understand the underlying reasons for the employees' reluctance to work. Rather than providing a bonus for achieving profits, the management opted to celebrate with a pizza party while retaining the remaining funds.
