these guys who criticize typically have always had the choice to remote work in their entire careers, have nice corner offices, can just meet with executive all career looking and do fun things. etc

Well sure but it's hurtful when you say it like that
And Minneapolis is probably going to call someone else "Mayor".
I wish I were a loser, but I have to drive to work, use tools, and make my back sore carrying a ladder around.
While still a stupid thing to say, I am concerned that this quote was mildly taken out of context. It was made at a business luncheon, where he was addressing downtown business owners. I believe "you" in "you become a loser" meant "if people work from home, you downtown business owners become the losers here." But yeah, "nasty cat blanket" is a classist and elitist statement from someone who has a stereotype image in their head.
Link to that part of the speech, sorry it's from a FOX affiliate.

The comment was a “complete joke” and the study was made-up, the Minneapolis mayor’s office told Fortune, but there are serious facts to back up Frey’s worry about the impact of remote work on Minneapolis’ downtown economy.
Really now? It's all bullshit, but its really real too you know!

the tax hole is shrinking.
Translation: our tax income is down, because nobody wants to pay office leases, or premium rents to be close to the office. Fixed it for you!
Lol a study showed they became losers
When it comes to capitalism, I'm happy to be a loser. Proud, even. What you don't see, very often, however, is people actually firing themselves like this guy just did...
what a shit post.
