The whole article is just boomer RTO slop like: "Over the past year, organizations large and small have been forcing their employees to return to the office for the entire workweek. They are responding to growing evidence that remote and hybrid arrangements result in lower worker performance."

This is what happens when you make decisions without merit. Eff with people's lives? They Eff you back.

Wilson drummed up the idea in the early 1920's, but didn't really follow through putting tariffs in place, Hoover did and combined with the dustbowl, sent America into the Great Depression.

Crypto acts as a dollar sink, when there are more dollars, it goes up, when the supply goes low, so does it. Plus a healthy dash of speculation
