I believe that the point of life is to become more than we are. My friend - grow to where you can. I wish you the best.

  Your wishes are worth zero. - Would you be willing to oppose corporations controlling the government with bribes/campaign contributions? - Support a judicial system where poorer people can access justice? - Tell your representatives that wage theft should be punished as seriously as theft and fraud?

    I don’t think this vitriol is warranted or reasonable. * I would support completely disbanding corporations who bribe officials, and jailing its officers * I think the biggest problem with our judicial system is the prevalence of plea deals leading to a lifetime of regret for those who ignorantly take them. Fix it. * I believe wage theft is theft and would like to see jail time for those involved. I imagine I’ve a harsher view than you on these elements. But, more to the point, even if I wasn’t this opinionated I dont think this hate is warranted.

      Apologies for my misunderstanding. I meant zero hate or vitriol. I categorised 'wish you the best' the same as 'thoughts and prayers' but you probably didn't mean it like that. I wanted to draw a contrast between actions that only effect an individual, like your example of quitting a bad job, and actions that effect society, i.e. changing the rules to close the loopholes that businesses use to exploit their workers. I think we both agree that systematic societal change would be a good thing. Cool.
