Well said. “Grasping at short term solutions beacuse they can’t see past the next quarterly financial reports” is at the root of a lot of problems today.
It irritates me that more investors and stock owners aren’t speaking up about it. We should all want our corporations to make better choices.
Indeed. And work location is still only one of many reasons to prefer city life. Cinemas, grocery stores, bars, stadiums and playgrounds aren’t going to instantly spread into our most rural areas.

I suspect we will soon find that policies that attract great grocery stores into a walkable neighborhoods are more effective for cities than implementing lax corporate tax policies.

I didn’t previously know that it’s important to clamp the springs when moving a washer, otherwise the springs experience years of wear during one truck ride.
I replaced the springs and had a like-new washer again.

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?
