We truly are creatures of habit and prefer something known. Also, people just don’t have the fucking time to know anything but passively absorbing it. We’ve collectively gone from requiring 40 hours of work to support a whole family, to now needing 80, as a minimum, for most families.
Who the fuck has time to research candidates policies? Lmao Susie needs to be at soccer practice 5 minutes ago. We’ve allowed ourselves, bit by bit, to have our time stolen because of all the wage theft we’ve allowed by not keeping the minimum wage pegged to inflation automatically. Every year they push on 2% inflation target. And every year they didn’t raise the minimum wage, they stole 2% from us.
It also makes any progress we make for ourselves, so brittle. Before, you could have two part time jobs help support a family for a bit. Now being out of work could mean homelessness.
I’ve got the same jade. It’s nice to be realistic, but knowing that there might actually be solutions some day keeps it from becoming nihilism.
