Nah, be honest with yourself, that's not the reason.

  1. The simple reality is that most people aren't self-motivated enough to maintain the level of productivity at home that they maintain in the office.
  2. Communication is more difficult.
  3. Keeping an eye on your employees is easier when they're literally within eyesight.
  4. Training is easier when you have another person close by who can lead you through it.

It's likely that, in the long-term, we'll end up with a hybrid system, where those that prove themselves responsible enough to WFH, will get to WFH, while the rest will be back in offices, which is the exact same thing we had prior to Covid.

The companies I worked for let me WFH every day(aside from one weekly meeting) for years before Covid, but I routinely did 3x the work of other people, even as a junior developer.

The problem isn't with the companies, the problem is human nature, we don't want to work, so we use every opportunity to wiggle out of it, on average, at least.

No, we can't, we're omnivores, while you can survive on plant-based sources of protein, in the long term, it causes problems. Getting the right nutrients is difficult and expensive, even in the short-term, meaning that you have to be profoundly privileged to do it, so technically, you're classist.

And you didn't answer my question, what about all the other suffering you support? People who suffer so that you can be comfortable, everyone from the avocado farmers and factory workers to the bugs/animals that get poisoned by various pesticides? How is their pain ok, while the cows' pain is unacceptable? Do you understand that you can't exist without causing some pain and discomfort, somewhere to something?? The only reason you have a problem with eating meat is because that is right in front of you.

.....that is a profoundly stupid way to look at it, you cannot exist without hurting something or someone, your mere existence causes pain to some people, and they'd much rather you stop existing, are you going to oblige them too? To define pain and suffering as unacceptable in all forms is to deny reality.

That sounds like you're paying to have ads in your own home.

You joke, but there have been cases of steakhouses and butcher shops having troubles with protestors. It's not an everyday thing, but we are talking about a small, crazy portion of an already fringe group.

It's not them not eating meat that I have a problem with(even though it's not healthy), it's the self-righteousness of it.

I still occasionally type re into my browser search than look stupefied at the search bar when nothing shows up.
