suicide? appreciating the good moments of the day without thinking about the wider hell you’re in, somehow?

    I stop working altogether.

    For real. That’s what happens. When I am in serious overload, I get kinda blocked and cannot achieve anything anymore.

    But also on a global level, I think it would break down most workers quite soon.

    Figure out a way to live cheaply, and work for myself. At least if it’s 7 days a week I’m doing it for me and maybe I can become successful enough to not have to work those 7 days a week at some point.

      You think they’d be offering sick days?? I think you’re bound for the camps if you can’t keep up. Oh shit… This is starting to sound familiar…

        That seems counterproductive.

        Guillotine demand goes up, guillotine production company stocks go up, guillotine production owners become rich, guillotine production millionaires felled by their own designs.

        You short-sighted investors are piling in on guillotines, meanwhile I’ve been snatching up shares in pitchfork and torch companies with strong fundamentals for pennies on the dollar.

            The profit on torches is the rebuy for more. You don’t need to sink a lot in material, it just has to burn bright enough to sell.

                In this throwaway, instant satisfaction society? It’s all about the price point. And the marketing.

              Exactly, the guillotine is a durable/capital good. Yeah, you make more on one, but how many are you going to sell relative to torches and pitchforks?

    The longest I ever did it was 5 weeks straight working 12 hour nights too. Everyone thought I’d quit, but I ran circles around them.

    Everyone basically gets way less productive, especially with any physically strenuous activity. It’s like you/your body knows full recovery is not an option. You don’t get more done, you’re just there when shit hits the fan.

    I personally adjusted just fine. It is no different than slavery. All labor is technically wage slavery. I owned my own business before and after that job. Owning your own business is no different. The line between your life and your business is irrelevant when it is your own business, especially if you have employees.

    I’m WFH with a pretty chill work day except I’m on standby 24/7 in case of something stupid happens at work. So not much would change for me, honestly.
