RE: Why Money Makes You Happier
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
What you said here probably is true. But in my view it simplifies the situation. Of course people are happier once they have money. Of course spending money on social activities and taking out worries of your day-to-day life, like how to pay rent next month.
But this somewhat leaves out of view that this system wants the majority of us to live in a shitty situation like this. The system needs people to live on the street, unemployed. The system needs people that are uneducated and do the simple jobs that the bosses refuse to pay a humane wage for.
Of course it would be best if we would live in a system where everyone lives in a humane situation. But with our current capitalist system, tears about how to afford the car repair are a necessary side-effect.
