We need to stop attempts to normalize grind/hustle lifestyle

Kinda looks like poverty
- And there is nothing wrong with that... as long as people are happy.
  
  I get your sentiment (that you don't need to we wealthy to be happy), but most definitions of "poverty" aren't just "not rich", they're more "unable to afford basic means", which there is a lot wrong with!
  
  As long as we don’t normalize that it’s either grind or poverty and minimum wage should be a living wage
  
  Strong disagree. Massively worse health outcomes, food insecurity, lack of opportunity for children due to worse educational opportunities, and less opportunity to be what you want to be instead of simply survive all contribute to make poverty decidedly not "fine."
  
  Half the world with a poverty issue would probably tell you they aren't happy.
  
  Oh yeah tons are people are poverty stricken and overflowing with happiness :/
- That bear has an armoire and a fireplace. A cozy blanket for him and all his friends, and enough tea to share. He doesn't even have fingers! Life is grand.
You know they are plotting a honey heist, right ?
- Let's not lose sight of the important part:
  
  That they're plotting it together
  
  I know Margot Robbie is on Lemmy, but when did Vin Diese join?
  
  Conspiring, even.
  
  We need a remake of reservoir dogs, but with Winnie and friends.
- Assuredly, it will be real sticky situation.
  
  That explains the fur suits
That table will last a lifetime. That mug, hard to break. Their furniture is sparse, but carefully chosen. That value will keep a lifestyle from being expensive, and it will make rough times just as lavish as always.
The lie is that if you just hustle a little bit more or for a little longer, then you'll be able to get out of whatever hole you're in. But really the system is set up like you said to make it a lifestyle.
- Exactly, it’s disappointing it’s being normalized.
Amen, and love the username lol
- Thanks, it certainly isn’t an fake name.
No! You are a lazy fuck if you don't want to work until your nose bleed!

Normalize anthropomorphic animals (is this what is it?)
