When the epidemic started, we were infused by "working from home is good", now that the epidemic seems to wind down, we are seeing headlines like this "working from home is not sustainable or it is bad". This is how the people in general are influenced.

From my personal experience I am a lot less stressed by working from home.

I wonder how many of these articles are because landlords of commercial property et al are beginning to feel the repecusions of people working from home. At least in the UK (this is a BBC article), most commercial properties are owned by big landlords, with ties to the "elite" class.

Overall, the reality of the shift has been positive for socioeconomics. More time around the people that matters most to us and beaming into work has reliaved environmental stress and unnecessary expenditures in commuting alone.

Some powerful people seem seriously worried, look at this nonsense in the Daily Mail:

Of course, what makes this particularly bizarre is that the person writing it says "I’ve worked from home for the past 30-odd years"....

How is the epidemic winding down?
