I know her job is to work with feet, but I still hope they know each other. Well.

For the people making the decision whether to return to office or not (AKA management), their job is simpler with everyone in the office. It is the nature of management. If everyone is in the same building, it is easier to keep them on task, foster collaboration, etc. It doesn't matter that YOUR job is easier for you if you can work from home. Their job of management is more difficult.

Also, for businesses that also own the land underneath their building, the business is another way to purchase real estate. They are in essence double dipping, making money off of the business itself, and building value in the land underneath that business. The reduced square footage of a work from home model does not serve the land grab.

Some people might argue that it's for a desire for control. Some people might argue that it's just old people with no creativity trying to do things the way they've been done in the past. I think the reasons are more practical and fiscally driven.

Did you just watch 28 Years Later?

It's a boob joke - I didn't see anyone mention it. The "she has good genes" is an adolescent euphemism. Now, could they've found a person of color with large boobs to do the ad? Of course, and please do. I hope AA tries to remedy their mistake by releasing ad after ad of all the young actresses (using the word loosely for Sweeney) with "good genes." Double down and give the public what they want!

I know this 'nuke them from orbit' sentiment is repeated often, but in retrospect... It was probably the best course of action.

We have a lot of sprawl here and the reasons are many. Just like Dallas and LA, we have a ton of road infrastructure and zoning laws that eat up a lot of land. We also don't have any natural barriers, like an ocean or a mountain range, to limit our expansion. Just to keep building and add another lane. Thanks for asking.

Marchetti intended the constant to be 1 hour round trip, so a half-hour commute one-way. It's an important distinction, since here in Atlanta the exurban commuter is clocking in at 1.5 hours or more into the city, well outside of what is considered tolerable. Multiply that by a million and you get some irritated people.
