I'd bet good money this Vargas dude has investments in commercial real estate. That's all this push to get workers back to the office is ultimately, a bald-faced attempt by the wealthy powers that be to make everything worse for everyone else, all so they can continue to get richer at an ever increasing pace. Remote work fundamentally undermines one of the cornerstones of elite wealth, that being the ownership and leasing of commercial properties. The entire industry is essentially a giant exercise in rent extraction by the wealthy, as they're giving essentially free money from the banks (if you're rich enough you get all the money you want for free!) to buy these properties, then lease them to the actually productive businesses that do things like make stuff and provider services, all while cashing fat rent checks while their properties simultaneously appreciate. It's like a giant money printing machine that's only accessible to those who are already wealthy, and remote work throws a giant monkey wrench right into the middle of it. No wonder all the CEOS and corporate funded think tanks are suddenly up in arms about "Productivity," "Communications" and "Connectedness" as if workers don't come back to the office, their giant commercial real estate money making machine slows, falters and will ultimately fail, and then god forbid the rich folks would actually have to go back to actually doing something productive to make more money.
