i wonder how in the fuck anyone can possibly be surprised anymore. it's almost like highly qualified experts have been warning us for literally over a hundred years. people panic and freak out, saying the climate apocalypse is coming and we're gonna die if we don't do something. fuckers, climate change isn't coming, it's already here - it has been for decades. it's way too fucking late to avert a crisis. all we have left are consequences.

Work from home will never be accepted by bureaucrats. It immediately showed that employees can be happier while maintaining productivity, 'hours of operation' are irrelevant, and those HUGE buildings with astronomical rent are totally useless. All things that get under the skin of bottom feeding management and bureaucrats because it takes away their control over other people.
