A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It is!
Most companies make BS solutions for fake problems. Not going to the office exposes a large chunk of fake needs.
Do families really need two cars? If you aren't commuting every day, probably not.
Having more free time means people are more likely to cook and clean for themselves. Can't make money off of that.
How many suits do you need to own? None! You only owned them because you are supposed to wear them in the office.
Dry cleaners? No longer a bill.
Gas? When you aren't sitting in your cities parking lot of a freeway isn't bought as often.
Speaking of parking lots, you aren't paying for parking anymore.
Daycare and dog walkers aren't needed anymore.
Going up work is expensive and companies want us addicted to these fake expenses.
