Since I've been working from home I've saved easily $75-$100 per week in fuel and food. (Michigan) That's money that the government needs circulating. So I can see why they want us going to the office again. The goof is that with inflation, I have still been spending that money elsewhere. Groceries this two week were $660 for my small family. That same order was $400 a year ago, and $300 before Covid. So I don't get it. What makes them think the money is just pooling up somewhere?

But they've raised the interest rates to restrict the money that's circulating...

While true - that doesn't mean that local communities/cities still want/need that revenue to operate.

It was like a short term raise and work life balance improvement for around 3 years for me only to go back to the bleak office environment a few months ago. It was nice while it lasted and I’ll never agree on the arguments they make towards employees coming back.
