How millions of jobless Americans can afford to ditch work

"Almost half of the world’s workers are considering quitting, according to a Microsoft Corp. survey. " I see this as beautiful resistance in favor of dignity and quality of life and really good for the planet. We are pressured to produce frantically so we can consume frantically, and doing much less of both is good for everything. (Obviously I'm talking about people with decent wages, not people just scraping by. But maybe ending the frenzy helps lead toward basic income, economic justice, less gentrification and housing speculation--that refusing to try to claw one's way up helps those who are left on the bottom. The Chinese "lying flat" sounds like Argentina's horizontalidad/ horizontalism a couple of decades ago, a leveling, and now because I'm me I'm thinking about the seventeenth-century English levelers ).
story: Around the world, millions of people are rethinking how they work and live—and how to better balance the two.
The Great Resignation has U.S. workers quitting their jobs in record numbers—more than 24 million did so from April to September this year—and many are staying out of the labor force. Germany, Japan, and other wealthy nations are seeing shades of the same trend.
The pandemic has taken a toll, with surveys showing an increase in feelings of burnout and a deterioration in mental health in many nations. But the pressure has been building in developed countries for decades. Incomes have stagnated, job security has become precarious, and the costs of housing and education have soared, leaving fewer young people able to build a financially stable life.
Although the Great Resignation is a phenomenon among those who are younger than 40, it’s also reverberating across the economy and forcing a broader conversation about work. Millennials (born between 1980 and the late 1990s) and Generation Z (the demographic cohort after them) tend to marry, buy houses, and have children later than their forebears—if at all.
China’s “lie flat” movement, jump-started by a social media post from which it got its name, is also about opting out. It’s a reaction against a system in which a grueling “996” work schedule—9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week—is common in industries like technology. So is unrelenting pressure from family, society, and even the government to keep climbing the ladder.
The country’s economy has doubled in size over the past decade, but not everybody is reaping the benefits: In many big cities the rising cost of living is outstripping wage growth.
As a result, some see the lie flat phenomenon as a warning of impending Japan-style stagnation—one that’s arrived unexpectedly early in the economy’s development. Others argue it’s more of the 1960s-style counterculture moments that cropped up in the U.S. and parts of western Europe, with ordinary people seeking a lower-pressure society that’s more focused on personal development.
“It’s basically a coincidence that these two discourses emerged at the same time,” says Xiang Biao, director of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Germany. “But we can make a connection. It’s about how the economy has become overheated and unsustainable, both in an environmental sense and in a mental sense.”

Everything relationship will get boring after you've been together for years. Love isn't a feeling it's a commitment to love every day, physically and emotionally. It's difficult, it's not always laughs, smiles, and fun. People tend to quit when it stops being fun, and they go look for someone else, because the spark is gone. No, that's not how it works, You want somebody to never give up on you, and love you unconditionally then do the same. Be the change. This isn't Hollywood, this isn't the movies. That shit isn't real. Love someone when you won't want to, when they aren't the easiest to deal with. When they're hard to love. That's the realist shit there is. - unknown

Please, keep looking. Not for a person, but for you passion, your love, your courage, your goals, your dreams, your happiness, yourself. Keep looking. Explore yourself before you explore another. Know your worth, know yourself. Only when will you know what you need over what you want. You need yourself to become your won. - unknown

I hope you fall in love with someone who always calls back and never lets you fall asleep thinking you're unwanted. I hope you fall in love with someone who sees galaxies in your eyes and hears music in your heartbeats. I hope you all in love with someone who tickles you and makes you smile on heard days and on easy ones. But beyond all that I hope that you fall in love with someone who will never leave you behind and who will never take you for granted, someone who will stand by you when you 're right and stand by you when you're wrong, someone who has seen you at your worst and has loved you still. I hope you fall in love with someone who kisses you in the rain and hugs you in the cold and wouldn't have you any other way. - unknown Accept The Awkwardness: How To Make Friends (And Keep Them)
