Fully agree. My ability to have access to healthcare, housing, food, water, and transportation is all at the mercy of my employer providing me paychecks for my time and service. This is a problem, they can just fire me when im not profitable or effective for them anymore, and all of these needs I have, now are in question of how i can get them.

And I would consider myself in a privileged position already.

This concept for me highly relates to veganism. I dont feel right paying sombody to kill an animal for me to eat it, I have the ability and am in the position to NOT eat bodies of innocent animals, So i do so because I can at least control that.

but i cant control money, i need my job for my family to be able to get resources they need. I hate capitalism, but i have mouths to feed and I dont have other options.
