Americans Don’t Care as Much About Work. And It Isn’t Just Gen Z.

It’s really hard to give a shit about working when doing so only barely keeps you from being homeless, meanwhile the CEO drives to work every day in his Ferrari.

EDIT: That is to say, we want to give a shit and be really passionate about what we do, but it’s tough when the time and effort to do so isn’t properly recognized or compensated. My wife loves taking calls and helping people however she can, but the company she works for prioritizes number of people helped as opposed to the quality of that help. As such, she’s looking to leave her job and the medical field entirely. Her experience is that every single company that writes any sort of prescription is only in it to sell as much product as possible, not actually using that product to help people.

There’s nothing at all wrong with loving what you do, or wanting to love what you do. There’s also nothing wrong with wanting to be able to pay your bills while doing so.

How are y'all today?

Still working our way through Baldur’s Gate 3. I’m basically just following her around, letting her experience the game at her own pace. She’s really enjoying it!

what do you wish you did when you were 18?

Gave a shit about school. Instead I was way too worried about finding that one girl for me. Now I’m dumb, poor, and have the most wonderful wife in the world… after a few false starts.

Less money, less house: How market forces are reshaping the American home

Jump

My wife and I (and our cat) are in a just over 900 sq. ft. apartment. The two things I’d like are a larger pantry and more closet space. Otherwise it’s perfect.
