This is why you’re so angry all the time.

Basically, compared with 2020 the standard person now works 15 extra full-time weeks a year for nothing, it goes straight to the bank.

And that doesn’t even include income tax, which subtracts another 12 weeks per year from your life (for the standard wage-earner).

So without even considering GST on purchases, rent, bills, registration & licensing costs, by default you live 28 weeks per year (or 52% of your life) working exclusively for banks and government.
