Fair point, I can see how this does not add to the conversation. Sometimes I forget I am not legitimately supposed to answer with a negative.

If I have I’ve either never noticed or it wasn’t memorable

Ok yes but this makes no sense to someone with zero background in marxist theory.

This is what is being referenced ^

This means that the values of a society are determined by the economic structure but also that these values then reinforce that structure. So you end up with societal values that closely allign with whatever best reinforces the base. In the case of capitalism that is typically greed. So no, money alone doesn’t corrupt people or make them greedy but the economic system that money facilitates does.

Correct me if I am wrong about anything 👍

Perhaps you would prefer “the ruling class”?

Me actually. I take vyvanse to manage my ADHD and it is one of the few medications that has legitimately helped in a major way. 2 problems though; I struggled with bouts of insomnia before taking vyvanse and for whatever reason most medications last longer for me than they do for others. So about a year into using vyvanse my partner assures me that yes my insomnia has gotten much worse and I need to do something about it before it actually kills me. So for about 6 months now I have been working with my doctor to get some sleep meds bc mind you I do NEED the vyvanse (or a extended release stimulant of some kind) in order to function in this society. In these 6 months I was perscribed 2 sleep meds. One of them made me pass out really quick but it was nearly impossible to get out of bed in the morning and I felt like I had brain fog for hours. The second one was basically fucking melatonin (it was an analog known as ramelteon) and it made it harder to sleep if anything at all.

So anyway know I smoke weed almosy nightly. Sleep like a baby but I will admit it does occasionally interfere with my responsibilities lol

I just drink 6 shots of espresso. My body cannot take the sugar in energy drinks

I sometimes swallow a bit of smoke and get really annoyed by it bc I will feel like I need to burp but be unable to. I will try this next time, thanks.

My dad has been a server engineer for a single company for my entire life and he lived like this up until quite recently. His fear oscillates in magnitude with the success of the industry the company is a part of course so it isn’t always severe but I remember every few years as a kid I’d hear him and my mother murmering about lay offs. These days he just jokes about it being an early retirement

I need a physical copy of that

Yeah I posted this and went to bed without ever looking for the article. Made an edit that should federate soon enough acknowledging this
