But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television, and its commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work.
We’ve been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.

I just realized it’s a “that’s obviously a dude in drag, but I don’t care about who you love when it comes to love” joke.
My god am I a fucking idiot.

“When I was 20 I filmed an interpretive dance to Dixie Chicks’ ‘Landslide’ in my college bedroom - and in my underwear. I turn 30 in a week and couldn’t think of a better homage to my twenties than a sensible mashup.”
OH MY GOD.

My AP euro teacher wouldn’t let our class watch Les Mis so we barricaded the door and screamed “VIVE LA REVOLUCIÓN” when he tried to get in.
