And yet the federal government already mandated 3 days in the office, and is now trying to get it to 4 mandatory days in the office for all employees.
It’s all due to pressure from businesses who lost out heavily when offices weren’t used, everyone from the cafe or restaurant down the street to office furniture to architects got dragged down.
Basically, that’s the main driver. All these office buildings and businesses around them start losing money when people can work from home. And since we have no imagination here, there’s no talk of repurposing them for something genuinely useful. Like imagine if the government started a program to turn them into vertical farms so cities could start producing some of their own food locally.
Time to change with the times. We didn’t keep changing laws to support whale oil when alternatives were found. Maybe a bad example as we do change laws to support fossil fuels all the time but i think my point remains. If you aren’t selling office furniture, shift to selling home office furniture. The architects could, idk maybe design housing instead of offices. And tbh if your restaurant is only afloat because it was the convenient nearby choice, maybe it isnt that good.

I don’t think you are understanding the problem.
Work from home hurts businesses, back to office hurts people. If we hurt businesses they might leave! People don’t have that option.
