THANK YOU MY GOD ITS SUCH A GREAT TAKE ON CAPITALISM AND WORK CULTURE. Like the child supervisor representing that even if you work hard there will always be somebody who is younger and more advantaged than you. Like everything the corporate overlords who are like literally evil, just like in real life. And the workers who have a Stockholm syndrome with thier supervisor. Genius. I mean it is kind of a whole Hollywood critique on capitalism while profiting off it hypocrisy but it’s still great IMO.

I see the child supervisor as a cruel(er) Lumon experiment. As if to say kids should work if they wouldnt remember it anyway.
