    What’s not terrorism: forcing people to work and consume treats while dealing with the stress and fear and… there’s another T word I’m thinking of. Because if you don’t the economy crashes and ruins you and your children’s lives. Generational wealth has been on the ticket the last few “recessions” (depressions, by all rational measure). Technically you could say they’re threatening your kids with the trevails of poverty and the grim statistics. I mean there’s no guy in a balaclava or banner on the wall behind them. So it’s definitely not terrorism. But they’re kinda threatening you. And using fear. For political reasons.

    Anyways where am I. Is this Wendy’s? I need to deliver a burger to a dude’s apartment where he’s writing an op-ed about the intangible and integral spirit of Office Culture in America and why we should end work-from-home.
