This is where the pushback against leftism comes from though. People are miserable in their jobs and think that the only way to keep the populace working is to keep threatening their lives on a daily basis unless they work, and therefore if you didn't have to work everyone would sit around and sponge all day, and the idea of this drives a lot of people nuts. It's where the welfare queen narrative came from and it's the narrative behind dismantling even the most basic social safety net programs like food aid. It's deeply ingrained in our culture and I don't know how you dismantle that.

Give everybody two months' vacation, in stages so everything doesn't grind to a halt. Once everybody has a chance to relax and then realize "yeah, i could keep working" that idea might be dispelled. Right now everybody can only dream of taking days off.

I don't want to overplay my "woke techlord" role here, but here are two experiences I have had. I was making 200,000 dollars per year when I had them. If you think "wow hearing about this makes me want to guillotine you" then maybe consider that I was rich when I had those experiences.

1. Having my takehome pay increase randomly in the middle of april. After cornering an HR person they told me it's because my taxes had gone down because I make too much money (I had capped my social security for the year).
2. Getting a big check giving me back 401k money + matching because I made so much more than the median worker at my company that the law reduced my 401k max contribution. My matching hadn't vested yet but since amazon had to do this they'd give your matching to you right away.

These experiences do separate you from other workers. As someone else said, just because you choose not to use the largesse to buy security that others can only dream of doesn't mean that security isn't available to you.

Thoughts and prayers, you rich sack of poo poo.
