Putting aside the fact that workers aren’t doing this and that WFH boosts productivity, the rich fundamentally believe they are the only ones deserving of leisure time. They can’t stand to see us claw back even a commute’s worth of time to spend with friends and family, on hobbies, etc.

The national park system and public land grand research institutions are the greatest American achievements. World wonders. They’re insanely cheap given the ROI. And it's being destroyed by cultural arsonists. Zero forgiveness. No quarter for these people.
