This obsession with ‘working hard’ and ‘hard working families’ is depressingly Victorian. We live in an age of machines that can do all that stuff for us. People should be having more diverse and more fulfilled lives, not grinding away until they die.

At the dentist today, no magazines ("because of Covid" I was told), but also no masks on anyone else (until the dentist masked up for the procedure). There's been some really poor messaging about Covid transmission.
