I see no reason why the "privileged laptop class" cannot have their quality of life improved still further. We don't stop at trying to help the "privileged potable-water-having class" or the "privileged sheltered class". If it's not hurting anyone else, why call it out?


All lives matter, what about hungry kids with cancer, First World problems, etc.


Something wrong with them getting out of the way of people who actually need to go somewhere to do their jobs?

A office worker having to drive somewhere to look at a screen they can have at home, shouldn't be an impediment to a nurse that has a real job that requires them to be where they work.


Let’s face it, the office job class of workers has been stuck in almost the same work routine as 80+ years ago when we used typewriters. And EVEN THEN we still had teleworking as a concept. We’re long overdue for a legitimate overhaul of what work looks like for the typical office. Not saying jobs that require in person presence shouldn’t be compensated for that- just that we need to look at it seriously.


No? They said all as in all, it sounds like.


Laptop class? You mean like the fresh outdoors class (labourers)? There's no hat benefit indoors.. Let's not let them wear hats outdoors as they already enjoy an extremely high quality of life.

This is all I hear.
