I don't know if it's just me but this picture killed me.

  • imagining someone making this
  • how did this cat find himself in such an extreme situation?

Ok that's frustrating but why would anyone make expensive changes to a place they don't own?

I just don't understand how people find accounts they like to follow.

Millennials, according to Wikipedia,

The generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996

After that is Gen Z and Gen Alpha starts somewhere around 2010.

So 1997 would be an older Gen Z

Could have been the mind worms all along, "No it's perfectly safe. Please bring your delicious brains to our land"

No this isn't right. It's cheaper to have an empty building than a full one so companies who own their buildings would still make more money letting their employees work from home.

Also, even if it was true, no company is going to try to solve a problem like that. Companies are selfish. They'd rather everyone else go back to work to boost the value of commercial real estate while they continue to work from home to increase their profits everywhere.

The only reason companies are forcing people back is because upper management simply prefers that work environment. They like to sit in their corner office, surrounded by their peons. A sense of power.

Or, they have the kind of personality where they thrive surrounded by people and can't understand how anyone could be productive at home, data be damned.

It has nothing to do with real estate.

Distinction without a difference in this case.

It's not commercial real estate. There's no reason for a CEO to care about real estate. This is just the reason given by people who believe all companies only ever do things for the money. So they've made up a reason they think fits.

Why would a company care about the real estate market when it can make more money having its staff work from home? Have you ever seen a company care about something that doesn't benefit them in the short term?

I think animals should have more rights already. It'd be nice if they could talk or something to help people realize they're actually living things worthy of empathy.

But to your point, cats and dogs are already among the better-treated animals in large parts of the world.

Compared to animals who get farmed (especially factory farmed), or get the death sentence label of a pest or invasive species.
