I don’t know where you live, but have you considered finding a “third place” to work from or frequent at lunch or after work? I’ve found that working from a local cafe, in my little suburban “village” centre has been really fantastic for th

> A business? No. A bank? No. A country? No. In a modern democracy, only one of those three could conceivably have your interests at heart. Lumping them all together damages participation in democracy, which exacerbates the problem.

I think we need a word to replace FOMO for these purposes. Perhaps one already exists? It strikes me that it’s not so much the fear of a potential new missed opportunity driving the tulip mania, but the retroactive regret of having missed t

Would you mind sharing which country you’re in? I’m doing some academic work on Uber’s effect on existing laws, and your example would be very helpful.
