A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

"Silly people" says the guy who hit the birth lottery of inheriting fuck you money from the start and still can't think of anything worthwhile to do.

Why do you even work with 500k in the bank? Why don't you live off your investments and capital gains somewhere in the carribean? Why do you think your kids need even more money instead of their Dad being there? Holy shit.

Because the kid is better off in Belgium than in Indonesia.

My parents started with 0. Why would I be as selfish as to waste their money? It's not my money. It's my family's money.

It just lowers our cost of living and gains compound interest.

My kid will have the naked property of it until I die. It's never being sold.

Lottery lol, it's just a guy working 40 years. The stuff none of you want to do here.

My parents lived at their parents till 30.

"The stuff none of you want to do here" 🫠

You couldn't possibly sound more like an out of touch boomer if you tried. But I guess we're done here, I think i have a pretty good grasp of your mindset already

Me and my brother copying my dad's mindset basically, so yeah.

All of us earn pretty good money on the labour market
