Damn. Sun’s column gave me flashbacks to early 2000, when everyone was certain that we were in a post-results economy but they suddenly started putting in 90-hour weeks (including sleeping under the desk because the boss might see that they went home) just in case it wasn’t. Between the crashes physical and mental and the money disappearing faster than they think, there’s a whole new crew that’s going to discover they burned everything to make…well, nothing. At least this crew has marginally better insults for those skeptical of this continuing forever, but not much.
feels like the repeat of a pattern for sure! there's always the zealots swimming in money vs the normies who don't get it, and the money is supposed to foretell permanent success but it rarely does...
Enjoyed this, thank you
Glad you liked it!
