MODERATORS
A distinction without a difference, unless you believe politics doesn't affect your livelihood, or your work does not contribute to society. Labor is inherently political. How much of it you do a week, how stressful it is, how safe it is, how much you make, these are all ongoing political discussions. The idea that politics is something outside of our day to day experiences has led, in my opinion, to historically low levels of political participation.
I wasn't talking on a philosophical level.
The original post was - I believe - was from an American, and was about how the first 21 days of this year seem to have been going on forever and ever because of the actions of the administration over there.
Where as, for me, because of various problems we've had with upgrades, installations, releases, network issues and so on, I swear to Merlin it seems like the thirteen (yes - 13) days of work I have done feel like they have lasted forever.
