Every time I read a complaint about having to do the dishes or working a dumb job, I like to imagine the complainer making their case to the kids who work 16 hour days to make their clothes.

    I mean, breathing is a pretty essential part of it too.

    But, just because I breathe doesn’t mean I’m in a capitalist hellhole.

    If you really think our pampered lives are hellholes, then you should read more about the rest of the world and/or history. To anyone with a speck of knowledge though, this sort of take just makes us sound like a toddler complaining how everything is unfair because she has to brush her teeth before bed. (A complaint I heard issued while babysitting my friends’ furiously adorable 3 year old with her mouth full of toothpaste. It took everything I had to not smile and laugh.)
