One of the pillars of the capitalism these fucks claim to love so much is that if you can’t exist on a fair playing field against competitors you don’t get the right to keep existing.

People, generally speaking, have an absolutely infuriating tendency to adapt to good things. They eventually look for more. The best way to prevent this, from an employer’s perspective, is to break their spirit. Learned helplessness is one of the only ways to permanently keep a free person in a bad situation.

The problem is the workplaces don’t want that. if you’re happier and have more energy, it also makes you more uppity and harder to control. You might even find options for other work!

If it means keeping you tired and broken, that’s worth the cost of a little productivity.
