   There are always going to be people who think that putting in more work simply means things are better.
   
   This simply isn't about that. It's about taking control of your life - being able to *make* hard cider such that you know what goes in it. Being able to clean a house and know exactly what was in the cleaner.

     @sickburnbro The busywork culture is the very poison that created the current corporate america that worships "hard work" over results and no worker works "harder" to compensate it's inneptitude than H1B "workers", they need double the time than the better qualified american workers in order to achieve half as much but that means they "work 4x harder" and thus they are "harder workers" than the lazy american workers.

     @EdBoatConnoisseur yeah. it's because of managerialism - when you are running a company that you don't understand inside and out, you focus on markers that you can judge success by.
     
     And just like GDP, once a metric becomes a goal, loses its effectiveness as metric - and then quickly becomes a bad goal.
