    I love how in every topic about WFH there’s some dudebro going on about the economy suffering due to supposed lessened productivity and I’m like… Why should I care?

      I love the abstract “productivity”.

      Like yo, cancer is incredibly productive.

      Demolishing subsistence farms and replacing them with cash crop slave plantations is mad profitable.

      I could make thousands of dollars in a day if I just sold everything I own.

      Our metrics of economic growth revolve around basically doing all of the above, to varying degrees of figurative vs. literal-ness.

    There’s no Americans bragging about that. Corporations and the government, sure. The rest of us are to busy living in pain

      the amount of times i saw Americans call Europeans “Europoor” because they don’t get idiotic pickups. would disagree about that …

      although maybe it’s just bots trying to make Americans even dumber.
