Sending a message may have some impact, but what he says doesn't matter in practice. This industry is dead in 30 years due to economic reasons. Offshore petroleum drilling is too expensive.

It's not binary (remote or office). My company was going to rent about 600 extra desks this year, but we added 0. Management is surprised how much we got done while being 100% remote. After the pandemic we will come back to a hybrid wo

Because the initial price would be steep. Let's say you spend $70 dollars on shoes and they last 2 years, so that's $350 for 10 years. It would be hard to design a single pair of shoes, especially at the beginning, at lasts 10 yea

It's not shocking. New cars are more convenient and reliable. If you are going on a road trip and the car breaks down it's a major pain and expense. Secondly there is a huge difference in safety.

Gov said it's either incompetence or a provocation. I'd bet my money that was a PR stunt by people working for the radio. They were in conflict with the government for years. They wanted out. It's a good way to create buzz an
