We need to stop attempts to normalize grind/hustle lifestyle
(literature.cafe)
Most people are killing their selves with third jobs to share apartments.
Abso-fucking-lutely, this, all the way.
People aren't "work-a-holics." They ain't there because it's their dream. They're there because they need absurd amounts of money to survive in this neoliberal capitalist dystopia.
Those that say they rise and grind and love it are faking it til they make it. They'll never make it, and will fake it to the grave.
I think both are true. I know plenty of people that take absolute undeniable pride in working 50-70 hour weeks every week and never taking a day off. It's like their life's defining characteristic.
Some people have no lives, because theirs was taken by the system.
