Almost everyone i know is working this week and work itself is treating this as an inconvenience to productivity which is such an odd shift as businesses used to just close or soft close this time of year. I dont even care about Christmas itself but i liked it being a slow period but its not anymore. Anyone else noticing this shift? I suppose this has always been the case for retail workers there’s no such thing as a holiday for them. The only difference is white collar slimeballs see working more as badge of honour like the little asswipes they are
People just aren’t seen as intrinsically valuable under capitalism. Your only values are in what you produce and consume. Look at how little time parents get to spend with their kids normally, babies packed off to daycare at a few months old so mum can get back to work ASAP, kids kept at after school clubs so parents can work until 7pm or later, now Christmas being condensed down to a day of family time so parents can get back to work. Humanity is being sucked out of us so the elites can make a bigger profit. Soon people will have no time off at all, it’ll be like Brave New World where babies are hatched in incubators and raised by the state.
