You should go to work with the government or at least work for CNBC with that BS.
If you calculate unemployment honestly, we’ve been at depression levels for some time now. And knowing your posts for years, you damn well know that.
And workers of ALL skill levels and income witnessed the crumbling of all social contracts and attacks on personal sovereignty during the pandemic.
See, for a lot of people, when they take a JOB, they trade some sort of dream like being a writer or in a band or an actor, etc. They ditch the dream for the security of the paycheck. During the pandemic, many learned that there was no security. They were not ‘essential’, therefore nobody gave a damn what happened to them.
Going forward, many of those people have a lot of things to figure out about how to proceed. But once that trust is broken by the system, it isn’t coming back.
Even for those who are back at their jobs, any passion they once had has been sucked out of it. Some just don’t care. Some are ‘vacationing in place’ as long as they can con a paycheck. Some are actively working to undermine the bastards that screwed them over.
Welcome to the new world. It’s the same as the old one, but more people are wise to more of the BS.
“Some are actively working to undermine the bastards that screwed them over.”
Oh wow, the first time I’ve seen this on FR. By the time they find out, it will already be done in most cases. Mene out.
