Lol to thinking that it was better. Capitalism was always terrible for normal people.

But many people just don't have a lot of hobbies. Change is also scary for many people.

Objectively I know millions of people simply go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch TV and go to bed. Repeat until dead. I just personally find it hard to relate to that frame of mind. Maybe they fear retirement would be boring because their lives are already boring and the only stimulation they get is at work - but to me that's sad to imagine.

Oh yeah I forgot, careers were an endlessly fulfilling series of fun exciting tasks. And job interviews were like, "A white male with a college degree? You're hired!" Everybodty's ignorant fantasies about the past are staggeringly accurate!
