Not that shocking. Hell, there are millions of Americans who would kill just to work indoors. Office work is the envy of every farm and trade worker with aching feet and knees and various injuries they have to nurse while they labor. Working at home??? It’s absolute luxury.

This isn't exactly true. There are, believe it or not, people who prefer to work outdoors and do heavy labor. Especially farm work. Some people aren't really suited for office work. (pun intended)

A bit disingenuous to skip the part where their bodies are falling apart and they're in constant pain.

This makes the false assumption that office workers don't incur work related repetitive task injuries. Every lower class job, whether in an office or a field, comes with its own bodily injury index.
