If workers are not back in office, commercial real estate will collapse. Guess whose investments are going down?

> Even in popular culture, the office is making a comeback, with […] “Severance” returning for a new season probing corporate psychological drama

Severance is about how working at an office intensely anti-personhood. The show’s characters literally forget their non-working lives to become good workers for 8hrs a day. Strange example to bring up without mentioning that.



I think Trump is doing this just to get more federal workers to quit thereby decreasing the size of government.
