I like to think I've managed to do work that empowered folk through my paid jobs, I realise this is dependent on the line of work you're in and that being in education put me in a position to do it while getting paid, but in my experience a lot of people find ways to exert a positive influence *through* their jobs, there is leverage you can use in a company that many don't think of

I do believe those of us with significant privilege have a responsibility to leverage, "lend" or spend that privilege But I keep seeing this suggestion that people should be "frugal" for the environment and I.. Climate crisis isn't going to be solved by finger wagging at your average individual buying shit. Have a go at organisations and politicians, and if you want to influence people, do it by modeling what you consider worthwhile, not by judging people wanting to enjoy their lives ffs
