Do something about it bro. If you want something you gotta take it. Nobody is gonna come offering you a dream work week. But the catch 22 is you gotta lose some sleep to find time to develop some systems to make passive income


That might work for the OP or someone who is capable of earning enough to set up systems to make a passive income.

But that's not a global solution to the problem. We can't all be lazy rent seeking drains on society.


Its not "rent seeking" if you solve a problem that others have in a way that is repeatable and low margin for you. It does favor software solutions a LOT though.


Hmmm, I get what you're saying but I still don't feel like that can be a global solution for everyone. At least not until we live in a post-scarcity society of some sort where we can all get paid from some software we wrote.


You can make passive income from things besides software. Try writing a book, selling stock photography, making evergreen Youtube videos, etc.
