The move away from remote and hybrid working is also driven by commercial building owners wanting the income from office based workers.
There’s a similar monetary drive for transport and service companies, e.g. cafés, meeting the needs of office based workers.

Footage from today's #PeoplesVetoDay #HandsOff Rally in #Tucson. I am on 22nd St midway between Country Club and Alvernon , almost a mile, early in the rally! #ThisIsWhhtDemocracyLooksLike From the number of supports vs Single Finger Salutes I wonder how this all happened! #Resist #MakeYourVoiceHeard #FollowTheMoney #Democracy #SaveDemocracy
Okay. I think I get it. It is market manipulation. His inner circle take market positions to take advantage of the massive drop and when he reverses his decision the market jumps. It probably is that simple. #FollowTheMoney
@kattascha Man kann sich relativ sicher sein, dass gewisse Herrschaften immer kurz vor und nach ihren eigenen Aktionen mit ordentlich Volumen an der Börse handeln oder handeln lassen.
Sich mir put-Optionen eindecken, Zölle ankündigen, Kohle einsacken, dann mit call-Optionen eindecken und danach gleich die Zölle erstmal für 4 Wochen aussetzen. Parallel versucht man ja auch, die SEC zu dezimieren. Hoffe, die schaffen es noch, auffällige Transfers zu identifizieren. #followthemoney

The #TrumpTariffs driving up prices in the US, cratering the economy, and playing havoc with the world are the equivalent of "Beatings will Continue until morale improves". #FuckTrump #Resist #FollowTheMoney #MakeYourVoiceHeard #ImpeachTrump #DeportMusk #ImpeachTrumpsCabinet
Billionaires like Musk are trying to buy political influence—but voters are proving that democracy isn’t for sale.

I still want to know WHERE IS THE MONEY DOGE IS ALLEGEDLY SAVING GOING? No one is telling America where that money is going. Who's pocketing it all? #FollowTheMoney #TrumpLies #MuskSteals #DeportMusk #ImpeachTrump
@cdarwin the direction to #FollowTheMoney has never been more pressing. And with TrumpMusk, it's so easy! They are greedy drifters out to skim as much as they can while the country implodes. Luckily they're not so good at this government thing. Resistance is limperative. #April5th #HandsOff

Of interest for some. This is basically the "credit card limit" the Man has that he keeps cheating on by raising the limit every year (you hear this in the news, OMG if no one raises the limit, government shuts down).
In contrast, you and me, for most part, can't go over credit limit (or if we do, bad things happen).

- nurses, art gallery workers, conservation NGOs, academics, etc - all these jobs that people do out of love for something/one are poorly paid. Love is exploited. More love = less money.
Only love of money itself and nothing else is rewarded with money (high salaries, bonuses, etc). Maybe not surprising - what do you expect in capitalism - but not much honesty about it. All that neoliberal motivational #Passion talk (“my work is my passion”) - exploitative bollocks.

“Keri said her father had been “powered by unconditional love” but he felt the government took advantage of the nearly 6 million people like him who care for a loved one, saving the taxpayer at least £162bn a year.”
This reminded of a thought I had a while back: how salaries/wages are directly negatively correlated with love.
When you do something you love, or out of love, this is instantly punished by capitalism.

Min uppfattning är att väldigt mycket av Trumps agerande har att göra med hans syn på USA:s ekonomi, och i synnerhet den amerikanska statens ekonomi och minst lika mycket dollarns ställning. Dessa två är intimt förbundna eftersom det är dollarns helt dominerande roll som världsvaluta som gör att utländska kapitalplacerare köper amerikanska statspapper trots att de har en låg avkastning.
