IB Juniors dying does not mean we need to push dumb reform

It’s a tragedy whenever someone dies in this industry. But stop standing on the graves of these dead analysts to push your idiotic Reddit political agenda about antiwork and artificial constraints on hours.

Forgive me for having zero sympathy for people who make $200k+ and OD on drugs or have a heart attack from an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise. It’s not an hours problem, it’s a mental problem among young people.

Protect workout time, eat healthy, don’t do drugs, and stop being anxious. If you can’t do those things then quit.

The rest of the world who work sun up to sundown plowing fields in 100 degree weather are laughing at us.
