Covid-19 has made me even more cynical than ever. It has shown that people would rather die than accept reality. And compared to climate change, the effort to protect against covid was minuscule on an individual level. But still, too many people couldn't be asked.
For me, the biggest one is the push for a return to office. I see it as a great opportunity to contact the economy and reduce resource consumption and carbon production with a lot of white collar support. But the owners just aren't having it and insist on a return to the status quo, even though it's obvious we're killing the environments we need to survive with this status quo.
It's one of the greatest sadnesses I can name. We were shown it was possible, and in many cases beneficial, and yet... We went back.
Won't anyone think of the commercial real estate market? Also, middle managers can't middle manage remotely. Whats a middle manager to do if they can't justify their position?

When a much more deadly pandemic comes it'll be an extinction event
Yup. Imagine if something was as transmissible as covid, and had a quiet incubation period of a week or so... and a 50% fatality rate.
I, for one, would like to welcome our antibacterial-resistant gonorrhea overlords!
