I can see it going two ways.
If nothing changes, techno feudalism. A small number of people living long lives in obscene luxury while the masses work themselves to death to afford a pathetic life.
Or, we do a big system reset. Tear down old systems that no longer suit us and replace them with new ones, shifting the focus away from money and “the economy”.
I’ve been WFH since 2020, and it’s working well for me.
There are some obvious benefits such as not having a commute, being able to do laundry during breaks and always being there when a package arrives.
Some maybe less obvious advantages I personally enjoy is being able to eat whenever, meaning a quick snack but also my lunch, and wearing less appealing but way more comfortable clothes.
Oh, and shitting in my own toilet. While getting paid for it. Definitely that.
I’m not gonna dismiss the potential challenges, though. It works well for me because I don’t mind being alone and I’m lucky to have a spare room to use as an office. Without those two factors it could easily enter suck territory.
I list cats among the benefits of WFH
Even just showing up is an immediate disqualification
Since I’ve seen no mention of it, I have to say Leverage.
I freely admit the structure of the episodes becomes a little stale after a while (the team starts a con against the episode villain(s), things go south, and then either they improvise a solution or it’s revealed they already anticipated the issue), but for me the chemistry between the cast keeps the show entertaining to the end.
It’d without a doubt my most rewatched TV series, a comfort show of sorts.
I can’t say anything about the reboot (Redemption) as I’ve not got around to watch it yet.
