    I seriously think this is the reason why everyone got so mean post-Covid. They realized it can always get worse; there is no rock bottom. Everyone was forced to accept that things can always suck WAY more tomorrow than they do today, and they/we can’t handle knowing that.

    It broke a social contract.

      Alternatively everyone realized it could be a lot better.

      Way too many chucklefucks sat at home collecting pay “working” remotely for almost 0 hours per day

      Those people got to bake bread, go outside, learn to be themselves, be happy.

      Then despite hitting every goal for their department/whatever - they were told to come back in.

      Post COVID is an attempt return to normal. Except it’s not even normal. It is worse in every quantifiable way. Everyone is more stressed out. Money is tighter.

      Nobody is in a good mood when they are hungry, and tired
