yeah you gotta work indoors in super cramped spaces getting coughed on for dogshit wages because all the jobs are gone. but you want thanksgiving or christmas? you wanna hang out with one friend? you wanna see a movie in an auditiorium with 3 other people in it? fuck you you piece of shit.
I don't even really think its the elites caring about the increased profits. It's just how much better it makes them than everyone else. They get to keep living normal lives cause they're exempt from rules, staying at home doesn't suck cause they live in mansions, and they get world class healthcare so they're pretty safe from the disease. It gives them another thing that makes them above the peasants and they love that shit.
