Let's all just get together and make our own housing and nutrients. And if anyone shows an interest in banking we flay them alive and burn their skin while they watch.

Yep sounds like a great "get overpaid then take early retirement" story.

Lots of bankers and other overpaid people can do this type of thing too.

This lifestyle doesn't seem sustainable if scaled to any meaningful share of the current population.

"if you don't want to work, then that becomes your job"

I genuinely enjoy working to directly better my situation. It's completely different from being exploited to keep enough points in a bank account to survive

I respect you dude, whatever your age. Even the very young deserve respect,this isn't age gated.

Theres a lot of psychology that goes into schedules like that that I feel goes (deliberately?) Underresearched/underrepresented or something.

When I was working 5 days 8 hour shifts with weekends off, I was phoning in sick every time I could afford it, and would refuse Saturday shifts every time unless I was desperate for the money.

When I was working 3 on 3 off 12 hour shifts, I often ended up working 21 days straight accepting all the overtime. The fact that the next "weekend" was never more than 3 days away really made the work tolerable.
