    He said he is making lots of money for someone else. He is making the money, therefore it is his money, not the money if the other person. It’s like the “taxation is theft” people are unable to apply the same logic on the owners of the boots they lick.

    I don’t understand. You don’t believe in hiring, paying wages? Like if you hire me to help you build a website, i should keep the profits of what you sell? Or, more directly, if you later sell the website, that money is mine?

    I was questioning all his complaints, including having to shit and piss, and said that indicates bigger problems and needs therapy. You hear mocking and “you should be grateful”? Disingenuous in the extreme, nobody is this subtext delusional!

    The message is all over the media that I should be grateful, im sorry I literally can’t think of a time I came across that. I hear people suggesting gratitude practice as a way of feeling joy, or maybe would expect “you should feel grateful” at church or some religious context, but, I dunno, maybe im very selective about the media i consume?

    Not getting paid commensurate to your contribution to the success of the company

    He doesn’t mention how much he is being paid. His complaint is that someone else is making lots of money.

    The news, society at large, people like you online posting replies like this very one

    I didn’t say he should be grateful, or how he should feel. I read the news, live in society, can’t recall ever hearing that I should be grateful for my job. You?

    Too bad it’s unaffordable. Maybe you need to look at the state of society

    You think that’s the problem here? He couldn’t afford some help for whatever is going on with him? Or (since you charged me with being part of the problem), could his problems be exacerbated by folks like you, commiserating, raging against the machine of such horrors as waking up, eating breakfast, having a job.

    by an alarm clock,

    Sounds like a personal choice. Im up before 630 every day without an alarm clock. Try going to bed earlier?

    leap out of bed,

    Or just, get out of bed. Like every person on the planet.

    dress,

    Would you rather be nude?

    force-feed,

    You mean eat? Somebody forcing you? Youre bitching about breakfast?

    shit, piss, brush teeth and hair,

    If pooping/peeing are upsetting to you, you have bigger issues.

    and fight traffic to get to a place where

    Why fight the traffic? You are the traffic. Fighting it is a personal choice.

    essentially you made lots of money for somebody else

    Your company is successful, is that a problem? You’re getting paid too, right?

    and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?

    Who’s asking/telling you how to feel about it?

    Dude needs therapy
