Personally I don't really see the problem. If you want to argue for a different state of things after some event, "post" seem like the correct word. Just like you would say "post war period".

I don't really see you point. When you pay "NYC rent" that money of course ends up somewhere. Some of your work hours becomes their margin.

Meaning you only _have to_ work two months a year.

The whole idea of the "real world" in contrast to "everything should be free" seem more like an example of western society than reality.
