You said it, a resource has the illusion of freedom, for now. A few more basic rights and the state can't just sick the cops on you and beat/murder you without a pretext of a reason. The post earlier about billionaires angry about the 56 billion in productivity lost to ONE mental health day a year taken got me thinking of this

Edit: one mental health day a month each year.
