i can't get out of my head something i saw the other day on NHS scotland's website while researching something health related:

"It’s recommended you stay at or return to work as quickly as possible during your recovery. You don’t need to be pain and symptom-free to return to work."

i just can't stop thinking about this and all it means.

@moonrabbit Phew. The capitalist utopia we’re in is grim.
But worry not! Soon the bots will do all the work and we’ll… *checks notes* starve? Oh.
@clarissawam
but at least then we won't need healthcare?
so i mean that's good, right??
@moonrabbit Once we have starved to death, we won’t, no.
@clarissawam
excellent. a bright side!
