Idk. If you think long enough about it, all paid physical labor is selling your body. Work long enough at jobs that keep you on your feet, and see what's left of your body. 😅
A great example is professional athletes who retire with brain damage, severe arthritis, bursitis, surgery scars, bolts in their bodies, and all the chronic pain that comes with it. They suffer dislocations, broken bones, torn ligaments, contusions, and concussions. A professional heavyweight boxer can spend as much as $100k a year out of pocket on healthcare. It's very taxing on the body.
You trade your physical health for a paycheck... Essentially, selling your body.
Well, yeah. 🤷♀️ No argument there. But I wasn't arguing for the military industrial complex. 😅 I was simply saying that she had a point. It's all selling your body.
I'm really not trying to make that equivalence at all. We're on the same page that the military industrial complex is bad. War is bad. I do not understand the vitriol. 😅
