We had a whole normal show planned for this episode, but we were tired this day; the vibes were off and mercury was in retrograde. Instead, we began by proposing the activity of coping when things just kinda suck, and found life again in a discussion around the narrative of meaningful labor. Is the idea of a 'dream job' just capitalist propaganda? Or, rather, meaningful labor does exist, but such jobs do not pay adequately, nor does capitalism value meaning. I don't know dude...I just want to live in a society that values garbage collectors, ya know? That would be nice.
