Never going back to the office works better I guess. My company sent over 100 people home over a month ago. Left at the office were a handful of managers, IT personnel and a person in the mailroom. We havent skipped a beat. Now... why do we need a 10,000 square foot facility? What about the cars needed to ferry these people to and from work? Think they will be buying a new vehicle soon? Nope, theyre going to sell it and share their wife/husbands car. Whats that going to do to GM, Ford, Toyota? Their workers? The price of used cars? The restaurants that used to feed these people at breakfast or lunch? And on and on...

New realizations and paradigms are coming from working from home, for sure.
Also include effects on daycare, home schooling, food supply chains, gasoline/oil/tires/brakes consumption & labor, car accidents/injuries, home industry/piece-work, automation...
