More people are working from home now. It may be a temporary thing, but it could also become the new normal. The technology for home office is all there.
Like gollum said, basically any job that can be done from home is a mouse-pusher job, a bureaucratic job, and those jobs will be shed as the energy situation gets worse and worse.
The energy situation of...if you want some, you can buy it? We've had pricier energy before and...folks still bought it. So are you just harping on doomer porn recycled from the past that didn't work out then and missed it in real time, or did someone not have enough premium to run your high test fueled motorcycle and now you are pretending the rest of us can't get it either?
For the record, we can. But who cares, those of us not worried about the energy situation are EVing around and don't even know what the price of fuel is right now.

What the world will need in the future is more farm labor, people out building, or rebuilding, efficient railways, roads, etc. The media is very shallow and they promote this concept of work from home like it's a huge trend, and it was, in limited fields.
Jealous much?

Many of these workplaces were struggling to pay the wages of the staff, but cutting back can be a political time bomb. No problem, blame it on the Magic Virus, as Catherine Austin Fitts, calls it. Push the redundant workers out into poverty and rework your budget.
Well, there is a name you don't hear often except among those who were suckered into the peak oil of yesteryear because they lacked the neurons to think for themselves. Catherine Austin Fitts? Is that the wife of Alex Jones?
