The only real solution is to actually care enough about the work to read the email. The trouble is that so many companies these days do meaningless middleman shit that people couldn't give a fuck about. We're headed straight for an economy substantially consisting of work that doesn't matter, largely being done by bots that can't think properly.
... Which would be fine I guess, as long as the ruling class would be so good as to offer a substantial sinecure to the populace. But instead they will likely insist that we quietly die someplace they don't have to watch.
This part was achieved in the 1980s.
Can I have like, the one scrap of false hope, just as a treat?
I tangibly feel the agony in this comment. What if I told you this false hope is an opiate that allows the situation to continue, but the pain of lancing that boil opens an opportunity to (yes, painfully) to sever and extract the root of the putrid infection that will keep recurring, if undone?
Say the same thing, but without using a single metaphor
Really?
Yes you can have it, but choosing the less painful option for yourself right now is allowing corruption and fascism to win, possibly for generations, inflicting greater ~~ain't~~ pain not only on yourself, but fellow citizens as well.
Eta: a pox on autocorrect
See, this is how I knew you were just being a shit. You accuse me of complacency but you have no suggestions. Fucking turd behaviour.
The interesting thing about becoming invested in victim mentality is the victims develop the same attitudes and weapons as their abusers. Shifting from victim to victor mentality is simple, but oh-so-often not easy.
Really. Lance what boil? Do what, exactly? What box are you imagining I haven't ticked?
