Currently, or 5 years from now? Anyone working in the "services" industry, which is most of the United States, can work from home. And if the laws ever change for restaurants and auto-repair shops, I suspect you might see that being done from home as well.
- 0xffff2 6y agoWhat kind of restaurant job do you see being done from home?
- elihu 6y agoI'd guess that user oedoedxef is referring to running a customer-facing business (a diner, an auto repair shop, or whatever) out of a primary residence, whether that means living in a commercially-zoned property or doing commerce in a residentially-zoned property or perhaps eliminating the distinction entirely.
- 0xffff2 6y agoThat's my guess as well, but that's a very, very strange definition of working from home.
- oedoedxef 6y agoWhy is it strange? Why should us software developers be allowed to work from home, but others who need a livelihood and provide valuable services to society should not be allowed to produce goods from home? After all, dentists and tailors see clients in their homes, and people who sell t-shirts online often manufacture and ship the goods from their home.
