We need to get rid of "what's good for the economy" (aka corporate revenue/profits and high employment) as the sole yardstick for making policy decisions. It is very, very clearly not working.
The economy should exist for (benefit) as many as possible. This doesn't mean tearing down the entirety of the existing system, but some changes are clearly needed.
Even if remote work does end up being less than optimal for the economy, the benefits to many/most remote employees in work/life balance, health, and family life is easily worth it.
