- kelseyfrog 3y agoYou're right, a lot follows from there. But I'm so tired of being a consumer. I just want to be me for a chance. I'm so, so tired.
- probablynish 3y agoDepending on your background and circumstances, there are ways to opt out of the race to a greater/lesser degree. Moving to a cheaper city in your country, or a cheaper country altogether, is one of them. Finding a less stressful way of making less money is another. I don't know you but I hope things work out :)
- kelseyfrog 3y agoThank you, appreciate it. It's just hard being reminded that there's no escape hatch - we've welded them all shut for eternity. Being reduced to choices within a system but the choice horizon never extends to the system itself and won't within my lifetime makes me feel trapped.
- natebc 3y agowell, know that you're not alone in that feeling.
