In capitalism, responding in a wrong way to an email can start a chain of events that lead to you being let go, which leads to almost immediate threats to your bodily existence from lack of shelter and food. So in a way, it’s understandable to feel this level of anxiety about this situation.

responding in a wrong way to an email

It'd have to be pretty wrong to trigger that chain of events. It's definitely possible but being that wrong would probably get the sender into trouble in other economic systems as well.

That’s a fair point 👍
