Earlier quoted context omitted.
Did you reply to the wrong person? The person you're replying to said nothing about buying expensive chairs.
His comment seems reasonable in context. The article is about poor posture, with chairs and laptops being indicated from the initial image. The initial comment says that nothing has changed for them, implying that their home office setup is just as good as their pre-covid office setup. The reply is to that implicit statement, saying that office chairs are quite expensive, so not everyone is able to reproduce the same…
I sit in many weird positions throughout the day.. lean back, feet on a box. straight up and down, legs crossed, lotus, and yes, I squat on it too.. sometimes on my knees, sometimes the chair reversed.. pretty much anything that keeps my head above the table.. totally privileged, I know :)
Hell, the last chair was thrown out after it literally broke apart, it and before it did, it was crooked to one side for a few years. I'm 35 now, my back is perfectly fine. It's not about the stuff you've got, it's about you.
