Dont forget that dogs developed eyebrow muscles in order to do the puppy eyes better.

Industrialists have just countered work efficiency improvements with…more work.

Yes, exactly. Before industrialisation people worked on average less hours than we do now.

Is throwing a paper plane harassment and assault? Your country is more fucked up than I thought. As an outsider it is incredibly tiring to listen to Americans harp on about how their country is in shambles and there’s nothing they can do about it. It’s pathetic.

The modern hats look like a satirical version of the original.

I think that’s a disingenious estimate to say that food is far cheaper now than it was previously in human history. Before industrialization, growing food did take up a large portion of people’s time but their yearly work hours were much smaller.

It has improved massively, at least in the west. Saying “somewhat” is a massive underestimation and undermindes the fight of women for hundreds of years.

Then take to the streets. Or whatever else you can do, you can always do something. Throw paper planes with notes on them at the White House. Whatever you do, do something, instead of sitting on your hands and saying “woe is me”.

This happened to me but in the student drawers we had in primary school. I was not a particularly ambitious kid so i never used that drawer. It wasn’t until the end of the year that I realized that the rotting smell in the classroom had come from my drawer where someone at some point (might also have been me) put a dead crab.
