Good analogy. But their argument is even worse because they don't look at the other benefits of remote work on the economy.
- varispeed 6y agoIt is scary that so many so called economists are strangers to the concept of opportunity cost...

- candiodari 6y agoIt is also an extremely weird organisation to suggest this sort of thing. They're definitely not an organisation looking for fairness in the world, I've only ever heard of central banks implement policies for the general benefit or taxation, and then only with great reluctance, usually after their hand got forced. On the other hand they have a huge real estate portfolio (and mortgage portfolio) that I'm sure is now no longer looking like such a smart investment. So they're looking for them and their customers to be the recipients of these grants, no doubt.
