If the US is so vulgar, why are you here? I guess you must enjoy it.
Because I have family and some friends here, also live in NY City which has little in common with the rest of the US. Given another few years, unlikely that I’ll be spending more than 50% of my time here.
Also, I’m not in the economic position of the average American, but at the same time I have empathy. If I were in the position that the average American is in, I’d likely be in jail a long time ago for popping my boss in the nose.
And yes, I’m pretty content in working 25-30 hours per week avg, sometimes taking a month off, as a well-paid freelancer, sitting on some profitable rental property and not being as productive as I could be nor working to my potential. I wasn’t born smart to spend the rest of my life working like a dog, but rather follow the adage “work smarter, not harder.”
