    I think heard in passing, some video clip saying a dude was “promoting the 9-5 lifestyle”, aka having a job? Is that bad now? I’m getting old.

      It’s more exploitative than many younger individuals agree with. 40 hours and still can’t buy a home? I’d say the 9 to 5 is a failed experiment.

            He said it was a “failed experiment.”

            That does indeed make it sound pretty pointless.

            “This is a failed experiment” does not mean “it’s an improvement but we should go further.”

            I know everybody wants me to just get their point, and I do, but the words we choose also matter, and these were poor ones.

              Yeah I feel this. “Failed experiment” implies, to me, that we should forget this avenue of thought and go back to what we had before.
              “Outdated concept” might have been better?
              Either way we’re all in agreement fundamentally
