Exactly. What really bugs me about lefty/antiwork sentiment lately is that it increasingly seems to be built upon and pushing fundamentally flawed black/white style concepts with unrealistic demands that don't understand the nuances of the world we live in.
This is antithetical to progress, it alienates many supporters and breeds politically useless extremism.

I am not some capitalist pig, I generally agree with anti-work sentiment and am pro work reform. I am working class, working to live, if i dont work I'll be homeless in 2 months.

Every time a notable/famous person or "influencer" or whatever talks about a crypto coin, it is a pump and dump. Shes just doing what all the other scumbag influencers are doing.

No no, because they only had one frame of it moving, they can only calculate and upper and lower bound on it's speed. The number given was the lower bound is what theyre saying.
However, the gluten-free fad diet was actually incredibly beneficial for sufferers of celiac desease because it made gluten-free products so mainstream and really expanded what pre-made foods and snacks they can buy in stores.
