It is so weird! Most jobs are either boring or stupid or bullshit. Looking at LinkedIn today it dawned on me: everyone is wasting their lives.

Anyway I'm going to go build a solar powered glass furnace and put it in my jungle treehouse, cya later guyz

The thing that is the worst about all jobs being horrible is that everyone is so sad and stressed out about doing them! Capitalism is the stupidest thing I can even imagine.

i don't think capitalism is the root of the problem of why work sucks. i bet the dirt farmers in soviet russia had plenty to complain about too.

AirBnB is a job for a lot of people I think. Like you rent a 2 bedroom apt for $1400 a mo and then rent the second bedroom on AirBnB for $100 a night plus a $50 cleaning fee all month.
