It’s also a bit odd to consider remote working the paragon of virtue when of course the vast majority of jobs simply can’t be done from home.

So it’s a bit of a pickle to claim working in an office is equivalent to killing others, when we all accept buying products that clearly weren’t made by people that were working from home. Are we casually supporting these people killing each other, just so we can buy a hamburger?

There's a reason "we're not essential, we're expendable" became a meme among service workers. We are absolutely expecting low wage workers to sacrifice themselves to keep the economy and luxury services running.

Now you're figuring out the west's informal caste system. Now apply this concept to the equity pie slices that go to startup TLAs vs founding engineers and be amazed...
