[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remote work (accelerated by Covid and dim-witted CEOs finally realizing that paying for large office space doesn't help productivity and employee engagement along with climate change focus that realizes millions of people commuting to work everyday doesn't help the global warming cause) will change everything over the next 20 to 30 years. People will move to suburbs, ex-urbs, rural areas and still have a good paying job. This will depress existing cities even further and make lots of housing more "affordable" there, by default.[/quote]

This would be amazing. We’ve realized most office work can be done remotely, but I don’t think it will be permanent.

The federal government could revitalize other areas of the country by simply allowing remote workstations. Plenty of people will need to stay here for classified work or Hill jobs, but so many will be able to leave. The feds could set up one salary scale for all remote capable jobs so no one would be enticed to stay in high cost of living areas. [/quote]

Rhetorical question, is the point of the federal government to get stuff done, or as a jobs program?

On job relocation, everyone was up in arms about a mere few hundred jobs for BLM and USDA when it was Trump but several agencies have stated, and received no press, about downsizing 50%. I guess when it’s Biden all is well. Cages are no longer cages. Etc.

Seriously this is the biggest threat to the region and it is being ignored.
