1349: “Because a great part of the people, and especially of workmen and servants, late died of the pestilence, many seeing the necessity of masters, and great scarcity of servants, will not serve unless they may receive excessive wages, and some rather willing to beg in idleness, than by labor to get their living”

i unironically really really want to work, i fucking hate not having money and relying on the doordash algorithm for hours, i mean i’m broke all this week because of a single fraudulent charge to my bank for fucks sake, and my parents constantly are passive aggressively telling me to get a ‘real’ job, turning evey single conversation i have with them to that topic, but nobody wants to hire a 30 year old college graduate with history and philosophy degrees for any of the available (i.e. retail or food service) jobs. they all want teenagers and the elderly that they can manipulate easily. any field my degrees are relevant in basically requires a teaching degree or a doctorate to get work so i’m basically fucked and never going to be able to get a stable job, but at least i have no student debt. my retirement plan is to die bravely in the water wars of the 2030’s

Almost like people have never wanted to work and our ultimate goal should be get unemployment as high as possible (while making sure everyone has a good life ofc). Also to be gay and go to space.

nobody ever wanted to work. Although toil would be the more apt word here because work can be rewarding but they are specifically talking about unrewarding drudgery where you are pointlessly berated all the time which is toil
