I'm perfectly fine with working more than people with children right now, because children are as the saying goes, quite literally our future.

I don't have any but seeing how difficult it is for friends right now who do I am perfectly fine with picking up some extra work.

I wish we could stop treating this like an individual issue, as we do everything nowadays, which is probably why we're getting so screwed by this virus to begin with.

That’s cool. Seems like not everybody agrees with you

This is an uncharitable interpretation. Here is GP's statement without the editorializing quotation:

> I'm perfectly fine with working more than people with children right now,...

I mean, that doesn't really change the parent comment's response. It's clear from the article and even the discussion on this thread that not everyone agrees, whether it's permanent or right now.

You're right, it doesn't. It's the principle I wanted to point out. How can there be meaningful or good-faith discussion if one party's perspective is misrepresented?

Not sure it can be misrepresented when it's right there above the reply to it.

It’s cool if they don’t they should just pay more taxes to compensate
