“You’re not time poor. Everyone can make half an hour for themselves. Your mindset is just that you’re lacking, so you put yourself in a lack spiral and-”

FUCK YOU. SHUT THE FUCK UP. STOP BLAMING VULNERABLE PEOPLE FOR HAVING A NATURAL REACTION TO THEIR MATERIAL CONDITIONS! STOP GIVING ALREADY TIRED PEOPLE MORE TASKS TO DO!

    “It’s your mindset, bro. You have a scarcity mindset and you need to cultivate an ABUNDANCE mindset!”

    Oh please, no one has a scarcity mindset quite like the rich:

    • They all think any gain for the working class is a loss for the rich. (I mean it is, but only because they let it be so because the rich will always hypocritically go back on their own free-market principles.)

    • When hiring, want as small of a workforce as possible and when they absolutely MUST hire someone they’re too money-anxious to hire entry level and train people anymore and prefer elite workers for even entry level roles.

    • Speaking of which, labor is seen by them as a cost to be minimized rather than an asset to invest in. Look at AI, the very fact people work for them at all is seen as a problem that must be engineered away but heaven forbid we automate capital to analyze where best to invest profits.

    • See the economy as a zero-sum game. The idea of making the ‘economic pie’ bigger is now laughable, everyone only wants to use technology for rent-seeking something even free-market economists recognize is a bad thing.
