A surreal animated short (6:25) about work and late-stage capitalism.
The Employment – by Patricio Plaza & Santiago Grasso
A man prepares and goes to work in a bizarre world, where the meaning of human workforce is taken to another level.

TDB has it (phone can't paste, but it's there now). I thought I saw it on an MSM site too, but lost it again.
National 35.9% ↑0.9
Labour 27.9% ↑1.4
ACT 9.1% ↓5.2
Green 10.6% ↓2.1
NZ First 6.9% ↑3.0
Māori 3.7% ↑0.8

-appeal to the thread of irrational, contrarian, conspiratorial perversity running through some parts of society.
Good luck
