Women are starting to realize that they got Tom Sawyered into whitewashing the fence. Read your Bible. Work is NOT fun. Work is PUNISHMENT for disobeying God. (I suspect that the political resistance to a UBI derives in part from the implied expiation of Original Sin.) To be clear, I am not making a theological argument. I am treating The Fall as a powerful myth, a story men made up to explain why their daily bread in fact came from the sweat of their faces.

The two-earner family is a bad business model precisely because it buckles under stress. And pandemics are stressful.
