Capitalism favours psychopaths.

These people are successful under capitalism not in spite of being terrible people, but because they are terrible people.

I'm usually not the first person to quote Jesus, but when he said that camels had better chances getting through the heads of needles than rich people had of getting into heaven this is sorta what he was getting at. If you're not a gigantic piece of shit you're just not going to get that rich.

Avoiding politics might be wise on some level, but by all means do talk about unionizing.

I think solutions to this is of a very individual nature - it's hard to imagine a universal solution.

But it seems your addiction might be to beer more than to alcohol itself, for now at least. And (some) alcohol free beer has gotten really good.

So my suggestion is this: Next time beer is on sale, instead of buying a six pack match the value in buying alcohol free beer. When you're back home you can still pop a cold one, it still feels like a nice reward, and you don't feel bad after. And you don't run the risk of developing an addiction to alcohol.

I never had a drinking problem, but I try to always keep alcohol free beer in the fridge these days just because I think it's a nice treat after a day of work or whenever.

And then you're on your phone, and typing two spaces at the end of each line is a mess because your keyboard insists you really want punctuation and a space. Because why would you end a sentence with two spaces. Gah.
