They aren't. Why do you think people are clamoring for communism. They want to vegetate 24/7, play vidyas, smoke plants, and not think about wages.

>>24448988
This is me except my commute is 20 mins

>>24449021

>"people" are clamoring for communism

They aren't, like 10% of society, lazy vegetable people you're describing, are

I have a decent paying job and am putting every penny I can into retirement/stocks. If I can't retire at least by 50, I'll just take what money I have and have a hedonistic 10 years and end it. I should be able to retire at 50 at the pace I'm going though, minus catastrophic stock market resets.

>tfw most days work maybe an hour tops
>still get paid for full hours, waiting for Christmas bonus

>>24448816
why not build something you want to build instead of whining about waging.

>>24448903
They are too stupid to get out

>Just man up bro 50 years of slaving and misery is nothing just fucking work till you die lmao

>>24449139

I'm only afraid the work from home shit will just lead to more outsourcing soon. "we already proved it's possible, might as well save on office costs and have some hard working indian do it instead of some lazy incel playing with his dick in one hand"

Get a job like me where you work from home and only do like 1-2 hours of work a day, maybe 4 hours of work on a busy day, and spend the rest of the day watching movies/tv shows, playing vidya, jacking off to porn.

>my land lord works sooo hard
>productivity is increasing but wages aren't? Fucking leftist stop wanting things

so glad i work from home until next year at least

>>24449236
Too complacent/lazy. Minimum wage jobs used to solely be the domain of high schoolers, but I know too many people nowadays that are in their 50s still working retail "If I keep working hard they're sure to give me that supervisor position for that sweet 13 dollars an hour!"
When it's not thathard to get some 2 year tech degree at a cheap community college and get paid like 25 and hour at least. But "it's so hard to balance work and school, I'm too old for that, I have kids!"

Then they don't invest extra money, they just spend it all "it's too complicated" when all you need to do is put money into SPY. "it's risky if I put it into stocks it might all disappear!" if you have a 401k you're already in you fucking dumbass

>>24449021
give me realistic VR with full sensory perception... yeah why not, better than this shithole world.

>>24449266
My company already had been outsourcing everything they could for a while. But now that everyone is wfh they're moving even more shit overseas. I was warned my department has jobs at risk. Oh well, it was a good run.

i work in accounting. boomer executes won't let us wfh forever. i'm slowly teaching myself the learn to code meme. it's my only hope.

im just biding my time waiting for UBI to become a thing in all honesty. day trading as a side hustle, it's pretty comfy.

>>24449683
168 hours a week - 56 hours sleep = 112 waking hours

40 hours wageslaving + 3.5 hour commute + 2.5 hours lunch AT WORK + 5 hours ancillary wageslave preparation duties = 51 hours

51 / 112 = 45% of your waking life... for 50 years...

>DUDE LMAO JUST SLEEP 5 HOURS A NIGHT

>got fired from work today
>Both HR and my boss said they've never had anyone so understanding and calm when getting fired
>mfw been intentionally not doing my tasks for 2 months and have 500k in crypto

>>24449826
>2.5 hours lunch

wat? unless im going to some kind of restaurant (which the company pays for btw and still counts as on the clock) im only spending a half hour on lunch. i also get in a half hour late and leave a half hour early so technically i only work 7 hours a day and only really do actual "work" for half of that. being an engineering technician is pretty sweet not gonna lie.

commute is an hour each way but what can ya do, i like where i live but i could move to the same town as my job if i really wanted to make the commute like 5-10 minutes instead. idk where the fuck you guys are working where you need a 3.5 hour commute, commiefornia or some shit?

Not ever going back to the hellscape of office life. I WILL cough uncontrollably if I ever go in again.

You hypocrites, you really think pre-industrial man didn't spend 100% of his waking hours just to stave off starvation? You don't know how good we have it bub.

>>24450067
0.5 hours a day x 5 days of wageslavery a week = 2.5 hours a week

>>24450206
i make $70k a year and i still consider myself a wageslave

>>24449379
Wages aren’t increasing because of your shitty social experiment you retard. Stop oversaturating the labor market and embrace isolationism

>>24450360
Lol hunter gatherer life was
>wake up at dawn
>hunt with the lads
>kill a couple deer within an hour or two
>check the traps, oh we got some rabbit
>carry it all back and dump it by the fire for the women to clean and cook
>it is now around 11:30am and you have enough food for two days
>fuck your wife, smoke herbs and eat mushrooms for the next 48 hours

WHY DID WE STOP?

>>24450613
Ted was so, so close to realizing that all human aims are pointless and leave us unfulfilled. But nope, got stuck on muh hunting and muh berrypicking.

>>24448816
you think everyone can live the miserable life you have? just staying at home leeching off of society? going to work is fun for me, I get to see my coworkers and feel like an active participant in society. at the end of the day, I can truly say I’m happy, can you say the same?

imagine spending hundreds of hours on an incel board discussing shitcoins. What a waste of time. You faggots will never be happy. You are all subhumans

Sounds pretty good to me

>>24449097
Why wouldn’t you just buy 10,000 link in 2018 and retire 3 years later like me?

>>24450933
>die fulfilled with 7 kids by age 30
Who cares, we all went to the all-father’s warm embrace back then

>>24450478
Same but it won't stop me from shitposting in the WFH threads and making wagies seethe

>>24450856
out of everything to do with your spare time, reading about and involving yourself in a hobby that can make you rich is far from a waste of time,tard

productivity increases have mostly come from increased technology which is a cost on the capital investor not increased labor efficiency on the part of the worker.

>>24449675
You realize if UBI becomes a thing, prices are going to skyrocket (rent AND food) and you'll have to earn even more to stay afloat?
The only person that benefits is welfareniggers and freshly 18 but still living at home

>>24452617
no, the idea is that automation is only going to continue to improve and there will be less and less need for actual people to run shit. get with the times, grandpa. you have to deal with the fact that we have a lot of extra people we simply don't need for labor anymore, less and less every year, every decade, that robotics and AI and computers all improve.

>>24452617
>>24452799
i'll add that there is a second option: find a way to drastically reduce the world's population. probably not by killing a bunch of people, probably more likely from paying people UBI and having them get sterilized, or sterilizing a bunch of people in general. either way there is less need for actual people to do work so you can't employ them to do meaningful shit, i guess you could just give people pointless busywork jobs so you can pretend like they're working so you can pay them, but that sorta defeats the purpose of work in the first place.

>>24448903
At a very deep level no one is really ok with that. But what good does not being delusional do for you? Ok so I'm not ok with it, now what? We exist in an economic system which is constructed in such a way that there is no real alternative for most people to not be wage slaves to generational capitalist dynasties. As with a lot of strange, life-denying beliefs the answer is just: Because to face reality is just far too painful.

>>24450785
>couple deer
>food for two days
try few weeks mate.
If u 9-5'ed for 1 month as a hunter gatherer u had enough food to do nothing for 1 year. What a joke society is. Any other take is TREMENDOUSLY low iq

>>24449434
20 years from now there will be technology to hijack your brain and you can experience all real life perceptions in VR

you will need a brain implant though

I do literal"work" from 8am to 11am daily. I can leave whenever i want after that, and i make 300k$ per year

>>24449021
Why do you think work simply won't exist with communism?

>>24450853
Oh god yes, I miss being a NEET so god damn much. Most of the bliss comes from not having to interact with the other wagezombies. Fuck you and your sportsball teams.
