Re: last 400 years
It's a horrible situation where an large slice of the income that you spent hours generating goes to the taxman, another big chunk goes to mortgage interest drain or to the even worse rent drain (paying the landlords mortgage interest) and another portion gets spent on the transport to get to the workplace where you spend those hours (£3000 annual rail pass etc). This puts people into the rut.
Take a step back and look at that situation. Does it not strike you as idiotic?
After hundreds of years developing civilisation we really ought to be able be in a better position to shape our lives.
