worrying is literally a survival instinct. we mentally jump into the future and plan for scenarios so we're prepared to put those plans into action when the need arises. the caveman who worries about the predators that could come into the cave in the night survives by blocking off the entrance. the one who doesn't gets eaten.
no, bitch, to the checkout line. you don't tell the kid to hurry up when they're at home playing with blocks, do you? or do you want your grocery store errand to take 3 hours while all the food spoils and the kid wanders around aimlessly, blissfully unaware that food refrigeration requirements don't account for toddler ADHD?
no, it's something capitalists force us to do. implement UBI, socialized medicine, guaranteed housing, make sure our NEEDS are met and watch how traffic jams disappear as people accept only the most accommodating jobs, watch how we have time to slow down because we don't have to sell every second of our lives to labor for someone else's profit.

YES. YES IT IS. I would expect New Yorkers to be a bit more familiar with the concept of passive suicidal ideation.
