Man... so I own a sales company, and while I certainly hope some of the folks
that I personally know are able to remain working from home... if they choose
that route, I don't hope for it across the board. My sales guys need to slam
dunk the ducks running around the city buried in their personal rat races - its
how our hustle works. Need the folks with the dollar bills, ya'll.

We're just two different peas in the pod is all.
I do think you're right, tho, that we will see change in both of these areas in
our lifetime. I think that some of it will never [fully] go back to pre-covid.
Lucky for me, theres plenty of others who earn from the land... we aren't going
anywhere.
