Amazon is massive. Much of their overhead goes to workers, and if the workers were more efficient at home, the city would have to offer a ton of money to make up for the most productivity. So unless you have some convincing evidence otherwise, this is hard to believe.

So the logical conclusion is that it's better for the share holders for the employees to be less productive?

Care to share that data?

This is not at all what he said. I understand that the facts are unimportant in the face of the narrative, but he just said he doesn't have the facts to back up what he believes is true. There are lots of reasons to believe it is true, and he gave a bunch. Whether or not it is true is hard to tell without the data, but claiming he's saying nothing more than "just because" is ignoring the facts in favor of what you want to be true.

I mean, unless you have the facts to back up your (I assume) claim that WFH is better, then you are no different than he is on this, and you are effectively calling yourself a "fundamentalist religious" thinker.

I bought a TDI, and was burned by the faking the emissions scandal. Fuck that company.

They still have the shackles of being an actual human.

I don’t think that is good.

No one here is saying they think this is good. Just the fact that, because a human has done it, it is something actually attainable by a human. If you remove the human, you remove that logical conclusion.

But to make myself abundantly clear, I think far too often influencers are trash doing a lot of harm to society, especially due to the deception about their contentedness.

Agreed. They're statement was very subjective, so it's kind of hard to argue with that metric.

too expensive for what it can do but will last forever

As far as I'm concerned, this is contradictory; if something is going to last forever, and not ridiculously overpriced, then it's worth the premium.
