Sorry, but I'm having a hard time sympathising with you rather than the people spending time with their friends and family and enjoying life. Life is not a purgatory unless you believe there is an afterlife, which many people do not. You are free to derive joy from hard work or whatever, but do not think yourself better than those who do not share your priorities.

the point he's probably trying to convey is that lifestyle is subsidized by the rest who aren't and wouldn't be possible otherwise.

> you must suffer away from your family to build great consumer objects, like California taught us.

Which is countered by the fact he did not subsidize, but moved away, rather than sharing.

I think it's either sarcasm or bullsh#t

I'd rather give up the Californian consumer objects actually.
