You make a good point about men, specifically not wanting to destroy their existence to earn a living from a company anymore. So job these days are basically seat, fillers, very low effort, essentially keeping the computers running, versus the computers, helping us with our tasks. I’ve also noticed a huge increase in women in companies, primarily in leader, ship and administrative roles, but very few in execution, type roles, with some exception, like nurses, teachers. I’m talking specifically about corporate America, which you can argue is the engine that runs the majority of America economy. no one respects work anymore. The current woke movement really demoralizes the role of men in society. So what is work anymore?

I worked on airplanes. High responsibility. High stress. Low appreciation from customers. Usually high cost of living areas. Mandatory 12 hour days when the schedule stacks up. And for all that, $35/hr. It seems like great money until $1500/mo rent, insurance, and all the other problems of living in the Northeast.

It wasn't worth it. Mistakes can cost lives, mistakes can cost freedom, and when the job goes over flat rate, "why aren't you done?"

I cashed out my 401k and moved my family to the woods. Got a place for $500/mo and made a new plan. Struggled the first 5 years but now we're on track
