What a year it's been.

at that point in my life where i am debating turning down a potential $14k increase in salary if it is offered because it means i can't have a nap during work

Something on my mind lately is the constant refrain of "suffering late stage capitalism", as though that were the worst thing in the world, yet the ultimate essence of capitalism always meant it would end in exploitation(slavery) and a wealthy minority owning other humans and their labor.
