Cool shirt, cool sentiment, WHAT IS WITH THE MODEL?????

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am glad you are still employed, JZ, but I am increasingly irritated at employers who cut so deep they have to increase workload without compensation. The math says workers are being robbed. I dislike large numbers of citizens being stolen from.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.

Increased Productivity = Fuck the Workers

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That is correct. It's amazing how much cheaper it is, having one person do the work of two or three!

Well, cheaper for the employer. The employee ends up spending more on pre-cooked meals, daycare, possibly a maid once or twice if they can afford it just to keep housework under control.
So EXCITED about "the new normal"!
