Fear of covid is a bourgeois privilege. "Stay home; save lives" means "I'm privileged so I can work from home and still make money. I hereby transfer burden of herd immunity to the workers & peasants who deliver my food and keep society functioning while I luxuriate in my personal digital utopia."

Yes it is. If you actually like venturing out into traffic every day to go wage cuck at an uncomfortable office with shitty equipment and people spying on you all day then you’ve got a screw loose.

You think working a box room with shitty equipment and people ringing you up and screaming at you because they can't just glance over an see what you're up to is better?

My mailbox has been full for three years.

I don’t work in a “box room” and I have a gaming PC and fiber connection that is better than any business I’ve ever worked for. More comfortable mouse, more comfortable keyboard, and I don’t sit at a desk. I sit in a recliner and use a huge 4K TV as my monitor. I can fuck off and do whatever I want when I have downtime instead of pretending to be busy.

It is better in every conceivable way.

Both types of working can be, and most likely are, wage slavery. Working from home can be the most soul-crushing experience. Devaluing any worker's labor and suffering is not conducive of camaraderie.
