      “I can’t work from home, so nobody should!!!”

      Look, when people who don’t not need to be present at an office can stay at home, it frees up the streets/trains etc for all the people who do. WFH benefits everyone, except owners of office buildings I guess, but fuck them lol

      So you are someone who will pull down others to your own level of misery? What a jealous piece of shit you are.

      You think Execs and Managers come in to the office daily?

      And you know what? I think you should be earning more and have better benefits. Better than me, probably.

      We have no quarry with each other. All of us deserve better.

      Lol. I remember when Mark Shields said in one of his last appearances on the PBS News Hour something like “The democratic party used to party of the PBR and a whiskey shot, but now it’s the party of Sauvignon Blanc.” I guess I’m technically a tech bro, but I think you are spot on pointing out this conversation about “work” ignoring very important work that can’t be done remote.

      With a large increase in the number of office workers working from home, cafes opened in the suburban centres near me. Though the cafe workers have to work from work, it’s certainly a benefit for them to be able to work walking distance from home instead of an hour bus commute away with expensive parking when they had to work in cafes near the offices

      WFH moves the support jobs closer to home

      Sure it doesn’t help if you’re in construction, but it’s a net good for many people
