That’s a pretty insane take that ignores decades of actual history.

Yeah I’m sure that’s the only thing they do with their time. Definitely not work or do anything else productive for society.
Jeez, it’s almost like the intentionally refuse to understand how inflation fundamentally works…
This is what inflation does, has done, and will continue to do into the future as long as we print money the way we do.
We should all do our best to be honest with what we know, what we think we know, and what we don’t. Especially on the things that are important to us.
Some of this may be fixed with process changes and better tooling; but that does not exist today for the company I work for.
I signed a contract that said I would come to the office when I took my offer, and honestly, if WFH people are serious; that should be more vocal about allowing folks to leave the state boundaries too. Silicon Valley folks who live in 3+ mil houses seem to be really happy with WFH…
As a personal anecdote, many of our local restaurants near my office have closed down, people I cared about lost jobs and livelihoods from these somewhat self-centered changes. I want more people to understand that these arguments have perverse secondary effects on society as well.
I find it hard to believe that Swedens progress isn’t measured by advancements made from capitalistic contributions. For example Apple iPhones.
I tend to find most folks inherently throw out these arguments out through their own biases and refuse, at every level, to acknowledge the hard working capitalistic people who got us this far.
Sweden is much better off because of the contributions coming from capitalists.
This has been my experience living in California for the last 10.5 years.
In 2020 California literally tried to rollback Civil Rights era legislation with Prop 16 because it has a preference for particular races and genders that isn’t mine.
Personal side note; I’ve tended to find that exceptional people are more productive with the resources given. So I find it hard to believe the inverse would also be true.

It’s a good read.
I didn’t know how to drive a stick before I purchased this car; but had a strong desire to vote with my wallet stemming from the same emotions. I wanted less “technology” in my car.
