They also have no problem when blue collar workers work 2 or even 3 jobs to get by.

Because we aren't people, we're meat machines. We don't deserve a living wage and it's expected of us to be working every second we're awake. Do you let your tools rest?

Do you let your tools rest?

I do, better for their long term durability.

Yeah, I'm okay with sacrificing longterm durability.

Hmm... Interesting analogy. What about breaking in an engine properly? Would that be considered rest? I have no point with this, I'm just noodling around with the analogy to see how apt it is.

It was more exasperation with how I feel like we're treated. I mean ffs at my job we have different toilet paper for the "real people" who work in the office and 1ply sandpaper for us barbarians. :/

Not sure about engines, but when you "break in" a horse that doesn't seem like much of a "rest" for the horse. More so indoctrination or submissive tactics.

Breaking in an engine you drive it below the suggested RPM limit while the pistons set into their seals, etc.
