There has been a massive psychological shift too. Everyone suddenly realized life is short and you need to take action before it is too late. Starting a business has risk and there is fear associated. All that goes out the window when you realize you have nothing to lose.
- c1sc0 5y agoRealising you have nothing to lose is liberating & a strong motivator to discover and spend time on the things that matter in your life. Between taxes, healthcare and inflation there’s nothing left at the end of the ride anyway. So why would you conform to the norms? Why play the game? Especially when it’s becoming abundantly clear that our society won’t be able to tackle the much larger problems looming ahead when we can’t even handle a minor inconvenience like a pandemic. So yeah, sure, I don’t blame anyone for “checking out” of the rat race.
