I hate this time line. All the advancements just to make life worse. I saw an article yesterday of a European country looking to raise the retirement age since people live longer. Even at work I have a program that monitors me to the second, and can tell if I'm clicking, typing, or "just moving the mouse." WFH can mean being on call 24/7. Any advice is always how to make do, or downsize. Which isn't bad in itself, but it's to "cope" with oligarchs wringing us dry for every second of time, and any money we happen to have. As things get "better", they just manage to make it worse. It's like the mere idea of a employee being treated like a human being and not their ID never is blasphemy. We have kids in factories and fast food jobs. This is ridiculous, and cruel. We should all be working less.

Have you tried giving up and just rotting into the ground?

Rotting in the ground? Sounds like some woke carbon sequestration scheme. To the biodiesel rendering plant with you, peasant!
