RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.

Millennials "quiet breathing" oxygen in the company-owned building.
This is why I would never emigrate to Mars, because the corpo-tyranny would charge for air.
After the ecological collapse, Earth will be like this too
Nar. On Earth we'll 'only' struggle to grow enough food, due to large previously productive parts of the world becoming unusable. We'll still be able to breathe.
Long run, Earth will be fine. It survived worse than us. We may not survive us however.
Company monopoly on air is an element of Total Recall (1990). Great Movie.
If we follow the logic of “doing your job” = “quiet quitting” then you need to call it “quiet suffocating”.
Reminds me of the Druuge from Star Control II
Life in the Crimson Corporation is typical: there are good times, when benefit packages and bonuses improve and bad times, when the corporation has to lay off some employees. Only, if one is out of job, one is out of luck. Since everything on Druuge worlds is Corporation property, every ex-employee is instantly trespassing and guilty of stealing corporation property, like air and sunlight. The only suitable punishment in Druuge laws for that is to feed the Furnace. Retired ex-employees are, however, allowed to breathe Corporation air (albeit at decreased rates).
