companies will find it cheaper to keep some employees at home permanently, many employees will like it better, 3-6% of employees will grow or start a side gig or business and never return. This has implications for REITS, commercial office space, part time workers, miles driven to commute, lunch spending, benefits status, even retirement investments.
