I get that life is safer, cleaner, and more comfortable for almost everyone on earth.
But, I wish I could decide to spend a few months not working and living in the mountains or jungle without any serious work or financial repercussions.
My wife and I are at a place where we have a long term plan to save and buy land away from the city.
I can’t wait until I’m out in the country side and and can go outside to nature rather than concrete.
this part sadly only works, if you've already worked your ass off beforehand.
Have you tried being born rich?
Meh, you can be pretty middle class and afford to take a month or two off of work.
I could do it with my PTO if I really wanted.
"worked your ass off beforehand"
Criticism potentially not valid if you've tricked a corporation to pay you to shitpost.
👌👍 cope with the reality that 30% of the country are home owners with wealth and not living week to week.
The best part is there's a lot more ignorance and disingenunity in the statement than that.
Unless he's just saying homeowners don't work hard for what they have.
That's what it's being addressed. That a middle class exists and can and do take a month off at a time. They went off into left field. Try to keep up.
I know your whole schtick is being a bit of a dumb bastard that confuses himself for a rationalist, but the phrase "working their ass off beforehand" applies to the job(s) they work and earned with personal effort and the familial responsibilities they have, unlike the idle rich.
Most people aren't middle class.
That's kind of the point, though. The fact that you can't just...live in the world without participating in a destructive and exploitative economic system first is disgusting and immeasurably immoral and unethical.
