If you don't think anyone disagrees with this, then why did you say it?
And if you do think people disagree with this, then you're making the straw man argument I said you were.
- ashtonkem 6y agoI said it because the article was suggesting that government should fix the WFH gap, and I assert that you can’t for the reasons I stated. That’s. It. I find it extremely weird and not a tiny bit annoying that you’re continuing to assert what you think I’m saying even as I correct you.

But government can fix the WFH gap, because letting everyone work from home is not the solution anyone was proposing, since everyone knows that isn't possible. The WFH gap isn't that some people get to work from home and other people don't. If you're saying that's the problem, you're making a straw man argument. The WFH gap is that the people who can't work from home, aren't getting compensated for risking their lives and aren't getting compensated for how essential they apparently are. > I find it extremely weird and not a tiny bit annoying that you’re continuing to assert what you think I’m saying even as I correct you. Okay, if you really intended to say that not everyone can work from home: sure. That's completely obvious, did not need to be said, and is irrelevant.
