Been on the other side of that bargain, so I love that you recognise this:

"it’s a means of provision, a labor of sacrifice. It’s an example of our interdependence rather than a testament to our individual autonomy."

With the baby grown up and left home and my wife's untimely death, I'm having real trouble knowing why I go to work any more... The "labour of sacrifice" was the only worthwhile reason to do it.
