Without that cutthroat marketplace and the need to compete, it wouldn’t necessarily be like that. It’s really hard to imagine, I know – and especially because I get it, I have a very niche hobby (period corset making and couture tailoring) that I could potentially make a lot of money doing but when I tried, it sucked all the enjoyment out of it to the point I had to stop for a few years. I’m talking about doing what you’re good at without the backdrop of a capitalist system that sucks you for every drop of blood you have. permalink fedilink source parent
