What an extremely based take. Modern work culture has become so... supercharged, and seeing an older person that actually recognized and commented on how things have gotten out of hand, is great!
In many ways movements like "anitiwork" and "lazygirljobs" are advocating for a return to what used to be normal a couple generations ago. And research suggests that there have been times in history where humans got by doing even less active labor than that.
