Bartender: You really think the world’s gonna end?
Ford: Yes.
Bartender: Shouldn’t we lie down? Put paper bags over our heads or something?
Ford: If you like.
Bartender: Would it help?
Ford: Not at all.

Examples of this “radical” ideology include…refusing to work extra hours…”
I’m glad they put “radical” in quotes, but “extra hours” belongs in quotes too, since it seems to be a euphemism for free labor in this context.
Any salaried employee who works voluntary, unpaid overtime on a regular basis needs to take a hard look at their life. If my pay is based on a forty hour week, then my boss isn’t getting one minute more unless we renegotiate my salary.

Yeah, I’ve got a shot at owning a house and I’ll know in a year or two if I can or will never be able to. If the answer is no I’ll spend like there’s no tomorrow because my retirement plan will become a suicide pod in Norway.

Fortune? I’ll pass, I don’t really need to know what the article says to know it’s bullshit.

I mean it just says that young people are “checking out” of traditional “work, save, start family, retire” and doing other things, like not working if possible. Because they know the economy and everything’s fucked. It’s not that bad but also not revelatory.

I’m struggling but my coping methods aren’t as elegant and definitely don’t sound as fun. Doing nothing, giving up, distracting myself, spending indulgently, and chasing the ability to just feel something are all on the docket. Delusional thinking comes hard and often but not as intentionally as this journalist seems to think it does.
