Then virus is "a small price to pay for salvation". May be the world will finally see that all occupations that can WFH should be free to WFH.

I try not to take HN or Reddit too seriously, because God knows that I was an idiot in my younger years too. But man, I really do hate this website some days.

I think, I just completly useless when it comes to empathy. I was like that in 18, 25 and as you can see now at 33.

Another thong is that there is broader context to what I wrote. My context was that I found it ironic how suffering of thousands improves something for other thousands so obviously plus for some other it moves the cause hence the quote seemed appropriate to express that irony.

Sorry if I hurt anybody, I didn't mean to.

Yes, thousands of dead people is a small price to pay so that some people can push buttons in the pajamas.

WFH could potentially save thousands more from reduced car accidents / pollution from commuting.

You realize there are reasons beyond "wanting to push buttons in pajamas" for people to work from home, right?

Decreased carbon emissions from commutes disappearing?

GP's post is ridiculous but not acknowledging the positives of WFH is … I dunno, bone-headed to put it mildly.

Have you thought about stopping the spread of the disease by not going out?

Every form of reasoning can be oversimplified to look ridiculous.
