    Seems like a real good reason to get independent and start doing things for passion instead of for money.

      Only issue is you can’t eat passion or use it to protect you from the elements. The idea of doing something for passion while tangentially making just enough money to support yourself is and always was a lie under a capitalist system. If we want to do that, we need to change the system first.

        You can’t eat money either. You can use passion to create food, though.

        Also I’m totally living that lie. Might be a crapshoot to try it, but it’s working for me. It’d probably work for a lot of miserable 9-5ers.
