The system is broken and if you don't like it you're wrong?

Ideal scenario: You get born into a stable and loving family. You get good grades in school and get into a good university. You graduate and get a job; you work this job 5 days a week and live for the weekend just like everyone else and then you retire and die. If you don't want to do this you are lazy ad can get f*cked. Did I miss anything?

David Cain put it like this:
"The 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television and its commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work.
We’ve been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing."
