I'm considering how much to pay people for commuting, I can if I can afford it, just need a lot of profit from a lot of margin from a huge speedup. I know how to do that, that yes. The rest is highly speculative.

Quiet quitting is about people who are doing below the bare minimum they’re supposed to do. Either because they knew they wouldn’t get fired during the labor crunch a few months ago, or because they were working multiple jobs and once again through they could get away with it.
