Adams might not have expected coming into office right when there is a titanic shift in the "street economy", and he could be afraid that voters will blame him for it like what happened to some of his predecessors. But he should have known this when he ran for office and he could have devised a sweeping economic plan instead of thinking he could ride the same model until his next career move. Economic issues were never his top campaign priorities, which is worrying.

Commuting is a waste of time. Imagine having 3 hours of extra free time for yourself every day. Imagine time lost in your life commuting.
That extra time is very beneficial for quality of life. Quality of life which wasnt that good to begin with already. Why would anyone want to give that up? To help laundromats and delis in manhattan? Got to hell I say, with egg and bacon on it.

Ill be doing half/half from here on. Working from home was good but it gets boring after a while. 50/50 mix is ideal.

The worst part is being forced to commute when the person and everyone else knows that it is not necessary.

This is why my company is doing so well!! We convince these companies that office space is a waste of $$ and commuting is a thing of the past! We show them the cost savings of being fully remote with occasion short term rental space. Our 2022 goal is to move 110k NYC workers out of the city forever and into there homes. At the end of the day the decision makers like profits and this a easy way to obtain it.

As I and others have posted on this board, with WFH weekends are truly your own. Me and Mr's UAM have time to cook or own meals no coming home tired and saying lets order in. All chores like laundry house keeping all done during the time we used to stand on a subway, or sit on the LIE. Also the money saved is great!

If you like 50/50 good on you, I'll pass.

This is why Yang should have been elected. Now the old fogies who elected Adams are going to whine about lack of progress

That would be the real American Way. Embrace change and profit off of it.

None of this will matter until someone with enough power says to DA Fat Alvin: We need you to stop smoking wokeness and enforce the laws, not change them to your own liking.

This isn't even nearly the best part.

Not being around the ****ing idiots (both management and non management) at work has raised my mental health immeasurably.

You can't imagine the amount of ****ers who know it's easier to run up to you and ask for something because it's easier than doing it themselves. It's always easier to just do whatever it is then to waste energy and time telling them they need to do it themselves.

Now, they don't have this option. Sink or swim for the dumb and/or lazy...
