> Such a raw reflection of the current economy makes me rethink the solidity of all my income streams. It's all essential "lessons", it is still a really nice post/tweet by the way.

> Right, but life shouldn't be about having to work more for some time to work less after that
> Imagine living in a society where your basic needs are entirely fulfilled, and you contribute to whatever you can, however you can, without having to worry about money ? That's the kind of life we should be living, not "I'll spend my time and money in order to make even more money"
