The great irony of Web 2.0 is the pandemic forcing massive shifts to work from home, coupled with the Republicans taping down the button on the Federal Reserve money printer, meaning Silicon Valley tech companies have never had it easier, since the world ran on their digital infrastructure for like....2 solid years, and then after bills came due they realized they'd overinvested in both physical property and personnel (things that Silicon Valley companies had famously tried to either disrupt or make obsolete since at least the 70s), so they've tried to kill work from home as a way of instituting "quiet layoffs" and leverage their tangible assets as collateral like a broke dad who owes back child support trying to pawn his baseball card collection. Fucking California Ideology. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of assholes.
