This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Modern economies have so much excess, the vast majority of the population could sit on their ass and have enough to 'survive'. And the more jobs are automated, theres less need for human laborers.
I wish we could test this to be true !
Who's going to get your garbage or run the sewer plant ? Who's going to take care of the sick crackhead in the ER? Who's going to fix your roof in July? Thus may sound mean, but I sure as fuck ain't doing any of that for free.
It seems people think all jobs are working the front desk at best buy or being a waiter. There's so many jobs you have no clue about behind the scenes of your everyday life.
Simple. People that want more luxuries than basic needs.
Thats something I'd be all for
If youre able but unwilling to work, you get a decent living. Apartment and free healthcare.
If you want to put in effort, then you get to have fancier things. It makes sense. Thats how it should work now, except there's zero safety net for those who can't work.
