I just made my way through Part One and enjoyed how you articulated your perspective on the work culture in America. Looking forward to wading through Part Two next. I'd be interested in reading the entirety of this series, both out of sheer curiosity and appreciation of your efforts.

Nice, man. All the American Beauty-esque thoughts I've had about work and more, but with some class consciousness. The Dunkin CEO quote pushed me even more to the left...

And I'm interested in how you're gonna tackle meritocracy leading to burnout. I suppose the constant expectation to do more because the person next to you is doing so much? *shudders* reminds me of school lol. Can't wait to read!

Fiery, sprawling and riotous. Like your writing and the aims on point. Selling pitchforks?

Since you were writing about work & burnout, that got my attention!

Love this:

"Escaping this self-imposed 9-to-5 purgatory would begin with a collective decision to value time and well-being over money and status."

Other well-chosen words:

"Our present hysteria is not a necessary condition of life."
