So why do some bosses still feel it necessary to prolong the slow and necessary death of The Office? Beats me.

Because corporations paid for rental contracts for many years ahead, and also because a lot of local businesses depends on people buying expensive coffees and lunches to stay afloat.

This is why media is pushing for it, because the people who owns the media is also owning those restaurants and coffee places.

It always, always is about money in capitalism. I'm surprised this article comes from CNN to be honest. How did it get through the wall of groupthink.

It's really about propping up the value of commercial real estate. If commercial real estate implodes, we would have another financial crisis.
