Would argue quite the opposite. Technology companies, TSLA standing out, have done exceptionally well. In fact having the pandemic as a tailwind instead showing they're able to adapt and capitalize on technology to be even further productive.
- imgabe 4y agoprofit-wise maybe, but if you look at the massive global production shortages and supply chain issues, it’s pretty clear that the pandemic working situation was not the ideal way to produce things.
- deelowe 4y agoThat's a pretty simplistic view of an extremely complex issue. For one, factories shutdown. This wasn't caused by people wanting to work remotely, but due to covid outbreaks in the factories and government mandates. Second, the supply issues were already starting pre-covid. It was clear we were heading into an IC supply crunch 3 months before Covid emerged in China.
- dekhn 4y agothose shortages and supply chain issues are because people make systems that are near peak efficiency, not peak robustness, and when you engineer for peak efficiency, it always means you're brittle in the face of unpredictable failures. That things weren't worse is a sign that the world adapted to the new working situation very effectively.
