 It's hard to say this, but I'm about to pull a John Galt.

I have 0 motivation to keep working and have others take advantage of my work.

At work I am surrounded by useless people, 60% of the workers support the rest who don't even go to work with the excuse of teleworking.

We add that in my country the real unemployment rate is very high and only 15 million people support 48 million and there is no motivation to work because the government gives subsidies for everything.

I have always stood firm, a man has to work, a man has to be an example for his children, but fuck, I can't take it anymore.

I never thought I would end up living communism in my flesh. 
 
 hear here!  work 4 yourself & all the best 2 U!   Cyph3rp9nk   appreciate ya 
 Time to find a Bitcoin company to work on 
 Where are some places i can get a job that pay some sats? 
 get to your boss and say that if he gives you half the salary of one useless coworker you will do his job 
 Escaping from the fiat slavery is the hell of the achievement! You will have no regrets ! Follow what your soul tells you 😉 
 A man DOESN'T have to fucking work!! He does initially, of course, to provide for his family. There are some who will just WORK WORK WORK till death. Fuck that🖕🏻. If YOU can afford NOT TO WORK  then don't fucking work. If you're working for yourself and you enjoy/find value in what you're doing, then by all means, carry on.

If you're not. If you're working for some fucker else and YOU CAN AFFORD to stop working then fucking stop...!! I've never ever worked for myself but have been lucky in that I've always had a reasonably well paid job. I've provided for close family and myself but now I'm done. I'm 46 and I resigned from by Bullshit FIAT job about 2 months ago having had the foresight to accumulate a bit of corn.

Check me bio.

FUCK. THE. SYSTEM🖕🏻.  
 This is a good point, with the advancement of tech and ai and with bitcoin's natural deflationary nature... its obvious that work will become a small part of our lives in the future, 40h/week in this day and age is not normal 
 vat nie kak nie man, is jy n poes? 
 The sooner it crashes the better... 
 You'll get no arguments here. 
 Can't see the problem with remote work though, if you can do it, why wouldn't you. 
 The problem is not teleworking, the problem is the people who no longer even work but get paid. 

It is a society totally devoid of values and in decay.

I am talking specifically about my country. 
 Work is what you do whilst building the image in your mind of what company to set up. If it doesnt form quick, go consulting to add a barrier layer 
 Late stage fiat. 
 I’d gladly take an invitation to “Galt’s Gulch”. Your work is an extension of your life. If someone has a claim on the fruits of your work, they have a claim on your life. Governments and taxes are evil. 
 Are you in Germany or Spain ? 
 Spain 
 Vente a Suiza compañero, aquí aun hay cosas parecidas a las que te habías imaginado. 
 I had similar thoughts & took similar action a year ago. I even had similar concerns about becoming unproductive but I also started realising what I was doing in the fiat mines was far from productive. It allowed me to stack sats but it didn't hold much meaning for me or anyone.

I'm treating this time as a transition period until I can figure out what my greater work is to be. I'm learning, playing & living humbly. It's been uncomfortably expansive & I've few regrets yet. I've dissolved many fears that I've carried for a long time & I'm excited to get going every day.

I wish you luck on your journey. Know that you do not walk it alone. ❤️🧡💚 
 🙏❤️ 
 Bro, you're just living in the wrong country.

Get out! 
 sorry man, I cant imagine what that must be like. So govt money now huh? I hope something happens to get you going again 
 Unfortunately, I don't get any help from the state, I am the exploited class.
