WTF is that shite? No, it is get the next field planted and then the next.

Hey Outdoorreb, how many acres do you farm?

I know you are reaching for something, but your low IQ prevented comprehension. When the job is done, it's done.

as a massive underclass is rapidly increasing in population and still being asked/forced to cut grass and frame houses 6 days a week. and when they get to go home, their women smell like the onion rings they've been frying all day at burger king. oh and their kid just got stabbed again at public school.

demographics are changing. there was just a massive transfer of wealth away from "the people". schools are failing. buying a house has never been more costly. i think it would be foolish to ignore the possibility of a bloody revolution happening in the next 50 or so years.

I'm unclear as to how this has anything to do with an individual working from home. All of these things sound like societal problems that are occurring for other reasons. And if you are equating all of the above problems to WFH, then I'm not entirely sure what to tell you, bc that is an absurd argument.

i'm just saying we can't expect to maintain order when millions of people are working from home 4 days a week and going on nice vacations all the time

Why not? The same work (if not more/better work) is being completed with WFH. That being the case, why is working within 4 walls at a desk with a computer at your home address worse than working within 4 walls at a desk with a computer at an address 10 miles away?
