> I guess you have a point there too. Though, im not sold on the "return to office" stuff. It is great for some people and some businesses but the increased demand in remote work is here to stay. I have been working remotely for years, well before the lockdowns. I am able to be so much more efficient not having to worry about commuting or other typical office-related nonsense. > The forced RTO only helps concentrate people more in big cities driving up costs for everything while killing small towns around the country. When you "have to be in the city" for a decent paying job the only thing that can happen is for smaller cities and towns to die off while we ultra-concentrate people into big cities. Also, big cities for some reason seems to turn people democrat/socialist so that is another down side. Very true. Many small towns have been hollowed out because of people moving to 'the city' for work. Remote working has enabled a lot of locations to entice people back to Small Town USA, and I think that's a great thing. The leftist nature of large cities is due to the preponderance of minorities who are prone to seeking government handouts. That, and young kids fresh out of college who have been indoctrinated into believing the government is there to provide everything they could ask for.
