Cons like working for the majority of your life until you are too old to function properly (which is now 65 years old, here in 2023 it will be 67) are part of it as well. Eventually this age will be 70. Until you're 70 you have worked 70% of your life. So you can enjoy the fruits of this 70 year long struggle for a couple of years, until you get cancer and die. Healthy system for sure.

You're right. The world was a much better place when no one could read or write and thought the world was flat, sacrificed virgins to volcanos and all you had to do was just work in the field along side your children 15 hrs a day, 7 days a week to plant, tend to and harvest crops and take care of animals to survive and feed your family and live to an average age of 35... and had to worry daily about disease and invading hoards burning down the village and murdering everyone. Thats "freedom". If only we could go back to those better times!
Only a disturbed mind could seriously conclude that having a job and having to work to provide for yourself and family is "slavery"
