I find it real fascinating how many people are blindsided by the fact that the people who own things that focus on making a profit skew the information they put out to benefit themselves. Did they think they were impartial or something? I mean they claim their neutral they don’t ever show that they’re neutral.

Yup, corporations need to justify owning the big-ass office buildings they bought out, so they’re paying to make their own opinions be reported on over the actual truth. As usual.

And the proven financial benefit of having people work from home must not be as profitable as corporate real estate, or companies wouldn’t be requiring in-office work again!

It’s not just the corporations renting those offices, it’s the politicians of downtown areas that fear a downturn in tax revenue due to more empty offices and less people getting their daily coffee/lunch/after work drinks.
And of course, if everyone’s working remotely, this means it’s a lot easier to find a better job without even needing to leave the house to interview, which gives employees a better bargaining position (downside is that employers will start looking at employees in lower paying countries as well).

All of this is happening with my company as we speak. I actually did a remote interview today while on my lunch hour. And the company has just rolled out plans for “clerical help” based out of India. I’m in the U.S.

The city of Seattle was literally crumbling before most of the major tech giants RTO.
Im not sure Republicans have had much control there in a few decades.

Republicans did a shitty job of planning New York City? When did this happen?

Eh, all those cities are Democrat run. Economically they’re essentially the same.
