Many people in tech all speak from an incredible place of privilege, being able to work from home.

There are many that are depressed and sitting at home.

These are the people we need to help.

Instead of trying to find violations, look for people that are hurting and help them out

I'm sorry, but until I see some proposals from politicians to help depressed people beyond "open up businesses", I'm going to remain very skeptical this is actually a legitimate thing they are concerned about rather than a cynical appeal to emotion. The very people who claim to be so concerned with depression right now are the ones where were and are advocating to slash social support systems. Sure, let's help people who are depressed and sitting at home. This begins with listening to public health experts, who have been begging for politicians to listen to their proposals to combat depression. If the first and only proposal to combat depression is "open up businesses and get people back to work" then how can we be sure these people will still be serious about depression after people get back to work?
