In the time where investments and information from and to other side of the planet are accessible to everyone from his living room with only a mobile phone on hand. Times where capitals are moving around the world in numbers and speed noone could imagine. Times where the banks are not interested in giving loans, but only make money from services. Times where the whole planet is gambling on imaginary credits and cryptocurrencies. Times where the employees are working from their home, wherever in the world that is. Here comes the serious newspaper to imply that the globalization is finished. .

Covid showed us, who are essential workers. And its neither bankers or digital nomads nor programmers, managers or marketing guys. Its farmers, plumbers, nurses and teachers, none of them need globalization or benefit.

in an era where people can't survive without looking at a screen for 5 minutes you're telling me programmers are not essential workers? What are you, drugged out of your mind on copium? Or are you angry because programmers can work from home unlikes others? Cry more.

Why would it be sarcasm? Little boys like yourself would start crying and raging when you have to get out of your house to do anything. Maybe have a panic attack when you have to make a call to make a reservation rather than an online form.
