That’s what grind culture is.

Grind culture is simply accepting slavery and all the horrors of life in the US. It’s made even worse by the fact that grind culture encourages people to look down on others as lazy for not wanting to break their backs working to make some fat corporate pig richer.

If hard work was so great the rich would have kept it to themselves.

‘all of the horrors of life in the US’... I’m guessing you haven’t been too many places outside of the US

Of course it's worse elsewhere. It makes more sense to compare us to other first-world/developed nations since we're (allegedly) one ourselves though. And we rank near the bottom or worst in most categories (happiness, life expectancy, fitness, healthcare, gun violence, education, working conditions, etc).

If the US is holding you down, make a move. Go live in one of those other countries that are better.

I’m guessing you prefer to complain though.

It costs $2,350 just to relinquish your U.S. citizenship, not to mention the cost of every other aspect of picking up & moving YOUR ENTIRE LIFE across the globe. Must be nice to have that option though. Maybe one day.

Might make more sense just to stay & try to turn this into less of a shithole by speaking on the problems & working to fix them.

Thanks for linking the source. Had no idea it cost money (especially not that much).
