It says here that couples that work from home, even one or two days a week, are popping out more kids because I guess they're just, hey, we both.

You're taking a poke break in the middle of the day.

Yeah, you're done with that project?

Let's bang.

But some companies, because that rent thing, are demanding some people go back to work.

And they say, and this could affect the economy because unintended consequence of people being home is more births,

and it's a secret weapon against the sinking population, and it's also a $100 billion economic boost.

Having babies?

That's for the world, yeah.

Yeah.

Makes sense.

Having babies because the population is shrinking, you know, which I think is actually a good thing, but they need people to keep working, obviously. Yeah, so you're not having as many babies if people have to go back to work. Right. So you stay in home more than that. That means both couples. Yeah, you've got to have both people there. Right. I think my niece. In order to make a baby, you've got to have them both. Yeah. My niece and her boyfriend, they live together, rather a fiancee now. They both work from home. And it's one that says they both get up and they just go to different rooms, you know.

They both have home offices, I guess, you know. That'd be weird, wouldn't it? Yeah. I mean, like, my wife works from home. Yeah, but I'm home. I'm also home for more than half the day. Yeah. You know, so it's just kind of. Do you ever walk in her office with your Peter hanging out? Well, yeah. And she goes, what are you doing?

Why wouldn't I? Let's do it. Let's do it. Putting that away. Put that away. But no, it's just basically like the unspoken rule is if the door is closed, she's doing something she needs to focus on and I just leave her alone. Got it. You know, that's just the, close the door.

If you close the door, I'll know that you need to not be bothered and I'll move on about the day.

All right.

So.

But it is, you know, there are opportunities.

Oh.

Mm.
