The authors found that higher quality buildings, a.k.a. buildings with higher rents that were built more recently, “appear to be faring better,” which they claim is consistent with the notion that companies have to improve office quality for workers to want to come back.

      How can a state control who has to pay taxes to them when they can work everywhere and don't need to be physically in a building? The remote worker is a threat to (national) state hood as we know it.

      It could be Cybersyn or a global capitalism that destroys even national bonds. Of course there will be plenty people who still have to work in the real, be it to do care work, or reproductive work on one hand or productive work i.e. working with the industrial means of production.
