The world has always been going the shit and will continue to go to shit until the end of time. It takes mountains to influence the tides of nations. You should take the responsibilities you can bear, but no more.

    Bread and circus. There are some fundamentally broken aspects of society that can’t be glossed over with a Mitsubishi SVZ-KP12NA 1 Ton 18 SEER Ducted Central Air Inverter Heat Pump Split System.

    At no other point has the population been forced to labor as much as it does today, and yet we’re still being asked to work more. We are enjoying none of the fruits of our labor aside from minor conveniences that we still have to pay for. Income inequality is worse than ever in modern history.. Year-to-year fluctuations don’t counter the fact that we are on a centuries-running downturn that shows no sign of turning course anytime soon.

      People had to routinely work 12 hour days up to the 1930s. Labor conditions are bad now, but it’s wrong to say they were never worse.
