"Other prominent Democratic politicians have also come out against indefinite remote work."
Is this specifically related to lockdowns or remote work in general? If the latter why would they want to discourage remote work? Economic reasons?
- version_five 5y agoI can see an argument that we don't want to become a nation of hermits. Plus wfh has an outsized impact on those that have kids, don't have a lot of space, etc etc, ie the poor. There is very little national interest I think in encouraging wfh (a counterargument would be the environmental impact of commuting). Plus as you say, the economic arguments.
- manuelabeledo 5y agoI'm going to guess that working from home has some economic impact over certain industries and services.
