When the unraveling comes, that dude and those like him will be the first to crumble. Sounds like he is very smug and is good at gaming the system, but when that system starts to break down, there will be no more gaming it. He is one layoff away from needing to be talked down off the ledge.
I know people who have spent their entire lives coddled by these corporate and government systems, where they were financially taken care of to the nth degree for decades. These people still try and squeeze every last nickel out of those systems, the same ones they have milked for 20, 30 and 40 years. They've had a good run, but it could be that the run is just about over.
Some of us have taken the long hard road, sounds like that is the road you're on. That is the road I took, and it has made me a more resilient and God-centered human. You are filling your resiliency reserve tank right now, that dude on Zoom has no such tank. People have too much invested in these human, and in some cases Godless systems.
Here is an example I see all the time: obese people driving a $50,000 vehicle, pulling into a hospital or clinic. Take away any one of legs of their triad (vehicle, healthcare, infrastructure), and their world would collapse.
Quoting: AggregateThreat Man, I was a big Burt Reynolds fan as a kid. When ole Burt gave that speech in Deliverence, I figured out pretty quick. Shit can hit the fan anytime and we're back to Planet of the Apes. Plus, I had all these cool old family members who survived the Depression and WWII. They taught me a man with one skill mastered can rest easy. A man that has two can sleep sound. A man that has three has found the meaning of life. Learning, whether it's self-taught, from a Vo-Tech or college, is power. It means when you're boring job warming a coffee mug as a 'Risk Management VP' gets old, you can go be an electrical tech.
