It seems simple, but I think it’s a perfect example of the underlying shittiness in our culture, where you are a bad or dumb person for not taking advantage of people when you have the opportunity. If you manage to do it a lot, you get admired for your hustle. If you make more money than you could ever spend and you STILL keep doing it 12 hours a day, we’ll put you on the cover of a magazine!
(I’m speaking from a US perspective, because we are great at exploiting each other, but it happens all over the world)
