Creating stability for ourselves and loved ones really can be demanding and force us into positions that make impossible to be as ethical as we'd want to be.

That said it is crazy how many people in the "first world" view themselves in that category while the demands they have are "a room and bathroom per person in the household", keeping the house 69 during the summer and 72 during the winter, a new 1000 dollar phone a year or two, a game system or two total a few k, a newer car because they're last one is just over 80k miles, several subscriptions to constant instant entertainment, etc.

Like yes, there really are people that have to beg for more hours to keep a two bed room for themselves and their kids, those people don't really have a choice. They are also the rest of us that really can just have a little less "treats" and be perfectly fine.

“Daddy, why can’t we eat dinner this week?”

Listen up sweetie, Daddy had to leave his job because they wanted him to use Claude to generate a spreadsheet. It was the only way to destroy our billionaire overlords from the inside. You’ll thank me when you’re older, now keep packing your things, we have until Friday before the landlord calls the police to forcibly evict us.
