“You mean you already HAD home office, old man? For a few years? And then you just… let them take it away again? And internet has been around for decades at this point anyway? And still, you were totally on board with increasing pollution and global warming by absolutely pointlessly ‘commuting’ from home to something called an ‘office,’ every day? Oh, what’s that, you actually hated doing that? That’s cute. But then you could have gotten a different job, right? Did you at least flip over some cars and set them on fire, in protest? Nothing? Just pure, unabashed complacency? I despise you and will piss on your grave.”
