Most people gotta work themselves to death just to pay the bills. Actually seeking happiness is a luxury. This trivialises how toxic and exploitative our society really is because the name of the game is to not starve or freeze to death while trying to surpress the internal agony with unhealthy hedonistic indulgence. People don't drink, smoke, binge watch or overeat because they think this is happiness, they do it to drown out the pressure they are trapped underneath. Honestly the imagery is problematic enough, the fact that the sticky note makes it clear that this was actually what the artist thinks about workers is just depressing.

It really doesn't feel like the mouse is being portrait as the victim here, more like the fool that we should learn from, even though alot of people have to fight to survive and this just makes it look like the mouse should just not grab the money and be fine.
