Actually Indian government wants Companies to promote WFH to cut down on travel and pollution. The cost saved on fixing, upgrade and building more new infrastructure is higher than taxes generated from these offices which will stay in business anyway albeit in a reduce capacity. What is the point of slashing corporate tax rates and then want offices and commercial establishments to pay more taxes. Additionally, Asian and European cities have a lot mixed used neighborhoods which don't decay unlike the American ones after the labor moves out.

The key logger was on the employee’s personal non work issued computer. Not their work station. What location it happened in is irrelevant here because you can work remotely and the expectation is your work device is just as secure as it would be on site. Nothing happened on their workstation.

They gained access to the employees master password when the employee was using their personal device and that gave them access to the employees corporate vault. That’s where it’s odd because why would they allow their employees to share their personal and work vaults. Don’t quite yet understand that link. They should be two separate accounts and two different vaults.

USA has 1.5 million truck driving jobs, 3 million cashier jobs, 1.5 million book keeping jobs, 2 million administrative assistants, etc.

If you consider AI taking half of those jobs over the next 50 years or something which seems almost inevitable its pretty clear AI is lined up to cause a pretty big shift in employment. It's really just a question of how quickly.

It’s incredibly difficult to find values for this, mainly because depending on weather conditions and the type of turbine it will consume differing amounts of oil. I’d love to give you an estimation but I don’t presently have the time to research and provide a good estimate as too how much they require.

I will note that the oil being used by the turbines is not being burned/converted to CO2, it’s being used as lubrication. This isn’t saying it’s free of CO2 production, as the synthesis of the industrial lubricants used in wind turbines produces considerable amounts of CO2.
