Shoutout to everyone who keeps reading about the woes of home office, but has to work in hospitals, factories, warehouses, or drive a truck.
I enjoy my home office tremendously, but it's still kinda surreal to me how we can all sit at home with our laptops and that somehow keeps the economy going - as if our jobs hadn't been abstract and hyper-specialized already, now some people don't even leave their bed to work.

- Yanster 5y agoTraffic in and out of the capital here has reached insane levels too, despite most people with compatible jobs getting a deal with only 2 or 3 days at the office since the crisis. I know quite a few previously using public transportation 5 days a week now driving on "office" days, because they got scared of rush hour crowds. That and/or the lower car costs no longer justify the savings of using public transportation.
