A lot of people are walking away from the unsatisfying job, tax donkey, and debt slave merry-go-round. From Charles Hugh Smith at oftwominds.com:
o hey there Corporate America, the Fed and your neofeudal cronies: take this job and shove it. This time it really is different, but not in the way the Wall Street shucksters are claiming.
Conventional economists, politicos and pundits are completely clueless about the unraveling that’s gathering momentum beneath the superficial surface of “reflation” because they don’t yet grasp we’re entering an unprecedented new type of recession: a ‘Take This Job and Shove It’ recession which is unlike any previous downturn.
Long-time readers know I’ve addressed the emergent class structure and systemic decay of the socio-economic order for many years. Just as a quick refresher, here are a few of the dozens of essays I’ve written on these topics:
America’s Nine Classes: The New Class Hierarchy 4/29/14
The Managerial/ Professional Class Is Burning Out 3/28/16
America’s Metastasizing Class Wars 8/27/20
This Is How It Ends: All That Is Solid Melts Into Air 9/10/20
This Is Why Inflation Will Rip Everyone’s Face Off 9/17/20
What the chattering class of apologists, toadies, lackeys, factotums and apparatchiks missed about the pandemic lockdown was the tidal change in perceptions of work and life enabled by a withdrawal from the deranging frenzy of work: once people had time to reflect on their lives, mortality, goals, identity and the soaring costs and dwindling rewards of their efforts to “get ahead” via slaving away in a dead-end job / career, the tune that began to haunt their subconscious ruminations was Johnny Paycheck’s timeless classic, Take This Job And Shove It (2:31).
STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
Looks like this is a real life Galt’s Gulch response that CHSmith is describing.
