    S5E6 - Nobody Wants to Work
    Apr 26 2024

    Lexi and their friend Oliver explore the nuance behind the idea that "nobody wants to work." They talk about inhumane working conditions, how capitalism keeps us so busy it makes it difficult to do anything but work, and the idea that we are meant for more than a 40 hour work week.
