I own pretty much everything I need/want (paid off house, car, etc). So now I usually just work to pay bills and spending money, stashing away for a rainy day, etc. Most of it goes to taxes. Given UBI, I probably wouldn't even nee

What are the implications (if any) of this?

I'm just a single data point, but I'm a "high income" earner who would immediately quit there job if UBI was ever offered.

As I said, I'm sure a minority of people are in the same boat. But most young people are not going to pack up and move to a small rural town in the middle of nowhere. Companies came to big cities because that is where young talent want

I'm sure a minority of people have the same fear/reaction. If things remain shut down forever, I think this could translate to a majority of people. Other than that I think it will be business as usual.

I'm sure a small minority of people are in the same boat as you. I think the vast majority want to go back once it is safe to do so.

I'm sure a small percentage of people would do the same! On the other hand, I think the large majority of people want to go back to the office (once it is safe to do so)

The truth is nothing has changed for the younger generation. They still want to live and work in downtown cities. They still want to go to the office and mingle/network. HN is an echo chamber.

This is a great point.

This has actually not shown to be true.

I'm OK with giving teachers the choice not to return - but they should absolutely NOT be getting paid. And those who want to work can do so.

why not? also, they have machines that can sanitize them so they can be reused.

Just because you don't agree doesn't mean it shouldn't be on HN. Personally, it seems blatantly obvious that Zoom cannot replace face-to-face interactions whether in a work setting or in an educational setting. The people adv

Hot take: Just turn off your camera. Video meetings where you sit at your desk and stare into your screen for an hour is just stupid. I do all my calls voice only while going for a walk or doing chores around the house.

Whenever I get passive aggressive or otherwise ambiguous emails like that I just ignore it. If it's important, they'll follow up.

this. so obvious yet we jump to conspiracy.

lol, care to share what kind of statistics you are looking at?

by doopy-loopy2 6y ago
I don't know how anyone can say that video calls and face-to-face time are equivalent with a straight face. Of course, this is my opinion, but it seems pretty obvious that in-person interaction is what builds relationships.

FB should offer a "limited-time" discount for advertisers, subsidized by rate hike when those boycotting return.

There will be a group of people who prefer not to WFH... and they will be in the office and therefore be much more involved/at the forefront of the company.

except that has not materialized... like at all... yet
