I mean why? If people are more productive, and it's improves their lives. We also need to deal with a climate crisis and having people not commuting for a whole extra day/having extra time to engage politically would be very useful. Although maybe they are trying to disincentivise the last part.

That's because lots of tory party donors are commercial landlords I guess. For the same reason they didn't want people to work at home they also don't want to give companies a reason to rent less of their office space.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
