“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.”A world consumed by relentless work and corporate control, rest has been abandoned and is now seen as a rebellion against capitalism. Corporations have rebranded Sabbath day into a mandatory recharge period where workers are forcefully plugged into machines for "optimization." Dozens are lined up for the recharge station, mindless corporate workers waiting to be energized, before returning to work. Rest is obsolete and productivity is prioritized.
