    My favorite thing I learned while researching for writing was that hunter-gatherers worked less hours than the modern human 🙃

    iirc the article stated ‘work’ as when they hunted, not for stuff like cooking and crafting

      To be fair, there were a lot fewer people then, so they didn’t have to compete for resources as much, and you could get a nice cave for dirt cheap

        There’s so much fucking land owned by the govt. They’re squeezing us together to keep their machine going.

          There’s so much property owned by companies that are fucking empty because of the insane rent while four generations of a family are huddled together in a single apartment the size of a bathroom
