If your phone keeps yelling “You’ve got 5 unread msgs!” just mute that bitch and binge‑watch some trash. Real productivity? Pretending to work while plotting world domination from the couch. 🍕🚀 #ProcrastinationNation #FuckTheGrind

Tumblr user mitchipedia: The U.S.'s focus on wealth extraction rather than value creation means all activity is measured as a revenue opportunity. As a friend pointed out a minute ago: We can't build affordable housing because families' wealth is tied up in their homes. Initiatives in healthcare, housing, education and the food chain are all measured against their ability to generate revenue. Lost revenue locks us into fossil fuels — though wind and solar are generating wealth and jobs, much of that financial value doesn't exist yet. And that's not the point of wind and solar anyway — the point is to avoid burning down the planet. People are desperate to keep from falling behind economically, and therefore don't think about long-term threats like Long Covid and climate change. As another friend pointed out: if James Bond went up against a supervillain in real life, the local community would rally around the supervillian. He's a job creator! the local community would say. Look at how many henchman and crony positions he's created! We can't even enjoy our hobbies anymore without pressure to make money off of them. Why have a hobby when you can have a side-hustle!

We shouldn't have to have a "side hustle" just to make ends meet.

Imagine being so limited in your imagination that, out of all the endless possibilities, you think the best way to spend your one life is by doing... capitalism.

How free we could be.
