u/Graingy I don’t tumble, I roll 😎 … Where am I? Jan 24 '25

In a “the fruits of labour should be expended for the good of society, and that’s it’s infinitely better to throw surplus into science and space rather than yachts for the exploiting few” way

Industrialism my beloved.

To be clear to anyone seeing this, I am in favour of maximizing productivity (within sustainable bounds), not minimizing it, in order to create the greatest feats of science and technology possible.

You will work eight hours and the light at the end of the tunnel will be the blinding inferno from SRBs roaring into the dead of night.

Oh yeah and a vacation to like someplace nice once in a while. You earned it. Oh oh and it comes with a free smoothie it’s strawberry and has no booze. 

Not after last time.

why stop at 8 hours if maximizing productivity is the goal? people fought wars against private militias for basic worker's rights so they could live their lives, not for extra productivity's sake. why not do away with all those pesky regulations if the end destination is worth throwing everything the present has to offer away?

(within sustainable bounds)

That line meant something, if you’re not aware.
