They won’t go out quietly.

@carnage4life The same is true in the UK. Remote working is a great way to rebalance wealth distribution away from big cities and back to towns that had been left virtually abandoned. But as you say, those that made their wealth from office-based cattle herding will naturally try to convince anyone who will listen how bad remote work is.
