Commercial property owners are lobbying Congress to force RTO because their properties will lose value if people work from home.

Shortsighted local governments like RTO because it forces people to be stuck in a part of town where they are more likely to patronize local buisnesses.

What they all look past is the growing resentment not just for RTO, but this entire system where we sacrifice our time and dignity for the cred of our politicians and the moneynof our slave masters.

my organization rto'd very early on after the pandemic, and promptly lost 40% of their staff who retired. It's an old place, demographically. I can guarantee that everyone forced back in was refusing (and continues to refuse) to buy anything for lunch and brown-bags out of spite, especially given some dummies were stupid enough to claim that as the reason. Lots of eateries continuing to shut down in the area, and you know what? nobody cares. In attempting to "save" something, they've practically guaranteed its demise by pissing off an entire generation.
