Not just because it's a choice I have made, but given the professional environment that has been created by two movements converging with each other the work reform movement and the automation movement. Right. I really feel that the economy is here to stay. And instead of becoming a part of the gig economy, making it easier for people to work as workers of a gig economy, our government has made it more expensive. Like LinkedIn sent us a few dollars, right?

I stayed recently when I was in High Probabad, I stayed in the Hilton Hotel and trying to use a certain type of person who can often afford independently to stay there. So while I was sat in the restaurant, there were other people. It was mostly Indians who are wealthy Indians. And the way some of them, particularly men particularly men. But I've seen women as well. They were speaking to the waiters and the waitresses. They spoke to them like they were dogs

Very similar to all the other problems that plague our society, to be honest. It's like, do I waste my time putting up a fight that is largely going to not have any results? Or do I just leave and be that occasional relative that comes once in four years bearing gifts so everyone is happy? People are choosing the latter option increasingly. Specifically the intellectually and financially smarter ones
