If we really were to be in the Matrix that's fine, but could I maybe ask for some better living conditions? Maybe be able to actually afford things without constant worry and anxiety over whether I can pay the rent.

But that's the thing it doesn't gotta be perfect, just a little better. We can still handle some suffering, but goddamn could we atleast afford a house to suffer in?
