The anti-suburbian trend among "city folk" strikes me of arrogance and ignorance just as the anti-car one. If they want to solve problems in their area that's fine and dandy but sticking their noses where they don't live is terribly (and terrible) "busybody" way to live.
I've worked with a significant number of remote workers (some part time and some full) and these remote management policies people keep talking about not being there or "standard" makes me think they're making a mountain out of a molehill.
Giving people deadlines and incremental check-ins ala milestones for projects or other work that they eventually have to show or "turn in" is all it is. Easier said than done, certainly, but if you can quantify the person's work on prem, remote isn't that difficult to manage.
There's a whole lot of fud going on in the comments. The misconceptions about nuclear are vast and unfortunately it seems as if a lot of people here have swallowed the bs completely
When Microsoft breaks the built-in VPN client going from 1803 to 1809 (which has caused me a lot of downtime and troubleshooting), it makes me pause and consider if it'll break again with another update. So I've been considering other options.

TOTP solves this issue. Even with a new number or loss of control with your service's password, if you have the TOTP app on your phone or watch you can effectively control access.
You must not work for government, because once they have a foothold into socially and even legally dubious methods/ideas, they'll continue to encroach on rights and abilities like the zerg creep.
Don't allow it to happen in the first place and it won't happen. History is rife with examples.
They do. These boosters aren't very expensive, and doctors appointments for them aren't either. Dare I suggest that almost everyone is in reach of a medical office or free clinic that can provide them.
This seems to be exactly what 'ties' are, here.
