Cities Face A Reckoning As Working From Home May Become The Norm | Deadline | MSNBC

    1. Major savings on commuting costs for workers. Same pay for your work, but you don’t have 15% of your after tax income taken by commuting costs. You haven’t had a 15% pay/income increase over the last 10 years….

  1. Can’t believe I’m saying this but Covid 19 might have saved us from climate change. Seriously, if nobody is driving, far less emissions will be released. The only good thing I reckon from this horrifying pandemic.

    1. Sure, and the uneducated starving to death, or dying from Covid-19 while they work “essential” jobs will reduce overpopulation and help the planet too. But, who would be so heartless to see that as good?

    2. Once this is all resolved, the god squad will claim it was divine intervention that got us back on course.

    3. Actually we might have to sideline a lot of programs, including ones that would fight climate change, to fight the massive debt we took on because of the administration’s incompetence.

      Trump = 68 infected, 1 Dead
      May 13, 2020 730am Day #75
      Trump = 1,430,348 infected, 85,197 Dead
      Trump Death Cult = 1,772 Today

  2. I’m already setting up to this from now on!! I’ll want to visit the office once or twice a month but other than that?? Rock n Roll!! Just have to teach the cats that the printer is NOT their new toy and a warm laptop with an empty chair is a bathroom break for me NOT a warm napping spot for them! 🤣🤣😎👍

  3. Child care while working from home doesn’t have to be difficult, actually
    do you think it’s a coincident that many states legalized marijuana.

    1. Just thinking how fun it will be talking to a CSR with her screaming brat in the background.

  4. Now that the public is used to doing something different, why should we be forced to go back to the same old poo? … unless they want to. The gas, child care, time lost in vehicle, stress … no thanks. But the biggest benefit goes to the Environment so let’s talk about that a whole lot more because our lives REALLY depend on it and yet they – newspeople – jabber on & on w/out a mention of our life-support system. Ignorance is contemptible & deadly. Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man. – Stewart Udall

  5. Convert the empty office space into small affordable housing units. There is only a problem if we keep trying to make it be the same thing after the virus as before.

  6. God bless you all and keep you all safe William magill northern lreland 🌹 John 3 v 16 king James Bible Psalms 118v,8 ♥️🕊️🌈☀️💐🌹🍀

  7. “Cities Face A Reckoning As Working From Home May Become The Norm” meanwhile there is less air pollution and less carbon dioxide from cars because of less driving for those working from home. Thus, the global warming problem is also being solved.

  8. Geez i hope not Because i make a living by breaking in to peoples home while they are at work

  9. LET DUMPY HAS HIS ASSWIPES RED STATE OPEN. AND SPREAD THE CORONAVIRUS AMONG THEMSELVES.

  10. What will happen to office affairs? Most marriages end because of affairs at work. Sleezy bosses chasing the women at work.

  11. You’re looking at the future, people. Cities won’t be places for working as much as for socialising and where citizens will access specialist facilities. Expect rural drift. Why subject yourselves to sitting a hour each way in traffic, when increasingly it is perfectly possible to work remotely? Why then would you live in a dormitory suburb? My own place of work is 400 kilometres away and has been for eight years. I can and do live in the mountains. It’s worked very well. Also with robotics and AI and other disruptive technologies expect within 20 years that many people simply will not have traditional jobs, manual or white collar. Given that and a choice, why bother with or pay the lading of living in cities full time?

  12. As a long term worker from home I can tell you I get a lot more work done in the 6 hours the kids are at school than I would in 2 8 hour days at an office
