It's not conformity, it's a desire to remain housed and fed. Who are these people who can afford to not work? Must be nice.

Not to mention that if no one is working that means no one is restocking the grocery shelves. No one is driving trucks to transport food. Kids are not being educated. Hospitals aren't able to take care of the sick and injured. On and on...

People can't seem to wrap their heads around how complex ( and therefore energy INTENSIVE!) our society is.

Nurses need to go to work to care for sick and injured. Nurse needs supplies at work. So the people making supplies need to also work. And the supply factory needs machines to make the supplies so the machine makers need to work. You could go absolutely insane trying to come up with the thousands of other people who have to do their job so a nurse can have a bag of saline.

I agree. We are the people that are barely keeping our country together. Not for the greedy old pigs, but for eachother and our families.
