When i was in a bad job and bad future prospects situation i fantasized/hoped for this. Was into zombie movies (id be among the first ones eaten, really).

Corona & homeoffice changed things. Lock down was bad but iwas already training for new job and had no time to go out.

Saving the commute is the only way i could imagine having time to raise kids. Well and another shit job that is also very chill because economy is bad so no reason to fight for raise.

Now, job might aswell be non existant by next year and all the shitty failing companies are pushing for RTO thinking mobile work is the reason of the fail, not idiot managers.

So, yes life is becoming unbearable again and i think this is part of the reason people are protesting aggressively, voting extreme parties in hopes of easement.

Politicians answer with more surveilliance, police brutality and less democracy.

I think with AI taking jobs, more extreme climate events we will see this more and more until revolution/civil war/collapse in europe & america.
