    Japan as well. One theory is that people realized how much nicer it was to have work-life balance and not be jammed on overcrowded rush hour trains only to be forced back to it

      I loved COVID so much, if people weren’t dying and people weren’t being deterred in camps (we were forcibly putting people in guarded camps like lol thats gonna be my crazy grampa story) but everything else stayed the same it would certainly be imperfect but closest we’re ever moved toward a utopia.

        This is very much an introverted take that only sounds like utopia to the main audience on a website like this.
        Not that it didn’t have upsides I just would heavily push back on calling any part of Covid or its outcome so far close to utopia.
