I was already born into the 9 to 5 world. but being in this system of working 9-5, 5 days, 40 hours seems incredibly suffocating for me. Especially in 2025, a 9 to 5 just means you're a company slave, with shit wages so youre barely surviving, and youre barely even at home as well. Sleep deprived and no time to run errands, see friends or family, or even run errands. 9 to 5's seem like they used to be rewarding and pay well, but these days it's just to barely even survive. And almost every 9 to 5 person I know hates their job. Must be a deep state concept

Find something You love to do and you'll never work a day in your life. A 9 to 5 is just how the Capitalistic world works. You trade your time for money. There are countless even endless ways to make money but most fall into the 9 to 5 because the school systems train us all since kindergarten. Also most jobs are 8 to 12 hour days depending on the job due to what's required of that job.
The true issue at hand is when You as an individual are FORCED to either have health insurance or pay a fine. They alone, especially in the US, is a controlling factor for most people when job seeking. The issue is however if you have health insurance you actually end up paying more out of pocket for services rendered at hospitals and clinics than the uninsured. THAT is basically forced servitude and penalties for that servitude. Crazy isn't it?
It ALL boils down to Government. When the health care industry as well as all other major industries have their people on government boards then you end up with laws, rules, and regulations that serve THEM and them only. The entire system has been Corrupted for way too long.
There's allot more to it than the 9 to 5. It's all of it. Yes, we have freedom. Freedom to live within the set of rules that THEY make for US. Your free to not work, but then you'll be homeless, uninsured and a vagrant. Being a vagrant is actually against the law in allot of places so working that 9 to 5 and playing the game is what everyone does to survive.
The only way to change it is for everyone to say ENOUGH ALREADY and take back their freedom and liberties and shredding the rule book that THEY wrote. Good luck with that though. ✌️ ✌️
