    Here’s mine:

    • Wake up when the neighbour above me slams their door
    • Glance over at my phone and realize I have an hour still
    • Bask in that extra hour sleep without actually sleeping
    • Groggily get up, shower
    • Walk to the station, buy a coffee
    • And wait for the next autopilot routine to kick in

      I’m so sorry man. Capitalism just sucks for the vast majority. It’s not my system-of-choice, even if i highly profit of it. It’s humanity’s bane and ultimate end.

        Eh, it’d be the same routine under socialism but the end goals would be different.

          I’d hope for it to be even more fair. Housing for all, healthcare for all, public transport… All the shit that shouldn’t be a for-profit but is. Unless you’re a landlording insurance-ceo that owns trains. Then the current system just rocks.

            That’s the ideal, but I imagine there’d be a great deal of equity required to get the ball rolling, and people wouldn’t immediately change households to build a new utopia, but would likely have to go through the arduous process of either doing the work, or setting up the committees to do the work.

            The end goal would be different, but I imagine it would be the same daily slog, just with perhaps slightly better hours, and maybe less enthusiasm for doing it since the threat of homelessness and starvation would no longer dangle above our heads.

            A small minority would bounce out of bed every morning with a burning passion to complete the mission, but I think that same minority tend to be the ones who happily work dog hours and dog wages in feel-good startups

              Okay. This daily-slog shouldn’t really be a thing. Ideally. People shouldn’t just do shit just to do shit. But to do shir because it’d need to be done and they kinda are fine with it. Not everyone’s fine with collecting garbage like not everyone’s fine to do rocket science. To fuel the stereotyoes. But some are fine doing one or the other. Or anything in between. It should be catered to that. Ok, now my shit sounds like utopia…
