Antiwork 2: No One Is Getting A Pay Raise

[MichVandal]

Just checking in. Retirement is great. No, I am not "getting bored." Yes, I am able to "find things to do." It's a real surprise how doing whatever the fuck I please whenever I please without worrying about what some low brow cunt with the power to ruin me turns out to, on balance, not suck.

If it is true that many people are unhappy in retirement I can only think of that as a sad commentary on a system that not only forces people into wage slavery but then removes their will and imagination to do anything else.

I feel really bad for those people caught up in the myth that you *have* to constantly work hard for all of your life.

But this is hardly new, This was clearly laid out in Tom Sawyer. Just like most issues in modern life. That Samuels guy could write what he observed pretty well.
