If you think indenting your program logically is bad, or some kind of imposition, then YOU are part of the problem and the kind of person who writes the terrible code that was shown at the start of the film. Why are you so lazy and careless and hell bent on making life difficult for everyone including yourself? How is your life or your code any better when you don't bother indenting, and instead go out of your way to indent it misleadingly, then complain about being rightfully criticized for writing sloppy hard to read code?
Go flip hamburgers or mow lawns if you can't put in the effort to indent your code correctly, because you are in the wrong line of work. With such an attitude, I wouldn't want to eat your lazily undercooked unsanitary hamburgers or let you carelessly partially mow my lawn and flower bed anyway, let alone maintain your code. Don't blame Python for making you do something you should have been doing in the first place, and have no valid reason not to be doing.
For somebody who is so wound up about immigrants breaking the law (which they do at a much lower rate than citizens FYI), and unconstitutionally opposed to due process for anyone but yourself, you shouldn't whine about having to follow the rules of Python.
You have no right to complain about immigrants taking your gerbs, if you refuse to do you gerb right in the first place.
Here, I'll quote your own recent words back to you, so you can follow your own advice, and "stop the whining" about Python forcing you to indent your code, because that's what you're being paid for, and if you refuse to do it, you should be fired for underperforming, or just quit, because lazily writing crappy unreadable code that wastes your co-workers time and energy is stealing in your own book:
>"Ah stop the whining, you're getting paid, do the work as asked by your employer. If you don't like it or think it's unfair, quit. Quiet quitting is stealing in my book. Employers should be free to fire any employee for underperformance." -reader9274
