We are now three years into the shift from office working to hybrid/home-based and the only strategy commercial property developers have is paying for advertorials bleating about how everyone should work in offices rather than idk pivoting their model.

Capitalism is not a driver of innovation, or they'd have fucking innovated.

@stavvers I wouldn't say that capitalism isn't a "driver of innovation", I'd say that innovation doesn't happen "because of capitalism" . They're orthogonal concepts; you can have innovation among strong competition between capitalist entities, and you can have innovation because of social issues pushing for that change (a la pandemic).

Plenty of "capitalist" companies have innovated during covid and thrived as a result.

Note: I'm not supporting capitalism as a whole. Eff that.
