Car dealers openly beg Biden to put brakes on electric vehicle drive

Re: And then there is reality.

Anything new is proprietary until one wins out (economically or network effect) over another: VHS vs Betamax, for example. Or going back farther, petrol powered cars vs electric cars in the early 20th century.

Bosses face losing 'key' workers after forcing a return to office

Re: For a contrarian take

I read The Economist article. We need to examine and question productivity by reviewing data. The Economist article presented data that shows lower productivity, but also presents another angle: not all jobs are similar enough to be lumped together. For example, the studies showed call center performance declined when working from home. That is a static job, follow a script, much like an assembly line. There is still much to be learned in this - where work should be done - category. Personally, I prefer working from my home office. There is a missing "water cooler" networking but at what cost? How often do water cooler speculations occur? I schedule F2F when needed to create, problem-solve, and align. But, even then, a poorly articulated and run gathering is just a time waster.
