Antiwork

My husband and I are not young or old, we have a preteen, both of us work, have been working since the day we could. We rent a small house, each have a vehicle (only one we pay on), a dog and a cat. We would be considered the very definition of a “nuclear family” today.

With this self interest in mind many CEO’s suddenly got religion and decided WFH was no longer good. So faced with this the only way to solve the problem was to stimulate demand and…

I can barely even afford to shop here because of my rent. Fuck employers. Fuck landlords.
