This hustle culture nonsense really pisses me off.

Being desperate for work, desperate for money, absolutely sucks. Why cultivate that as a virtue?!

One of the great cruelties of poverty — beyond the misery of material desperation — is the way it prevents people from being able to become themselves, to explore, to go take tango lessons and record an album and hwatever, to breathe. It’s inhumane. We should be •extinguishing• that inhumanity, not encouraging it to creep up the income ladder.
