| 0:00.0 | I'm curious about this notion, and I'm actually all for being willing |
| 0:29.8 | to try new things. You know, in the work week, in the workplace, we've seen a rather dramatic |
| 0:38.0 | transformation, not just COVID, but a rather dramatic transformation over the last, I'd |
| 0:46.3 | say, 15 to 20 years, that has accelerated in the last 10, the four-day work week, the |
| 0:54.2 | stay-at-home worker, the hybrid work schedule, where you go into an office on Tuesday and |
| 1:02.5 | Thursday, that seems to be very, very common, which is good for traffic. I'll tell you |
| 1:08.3 | that. The staggered work week means fewer people going in and out for traffic. It's had mixed |
| 1:17.3 | results in terms of productivity. The younger workers really seem to like to work from home. |
| 1:23.2 | My guess is most of them, not all, lack the maturity to stay focused at home. If the real |

| 2:07.2 | for a number of reasons. Number one, the eight hours coming in going means another hour or two |
| 2:17.3 | in the traffic. How does that affect somebody? You give somebody back an hour or two per day. |
| 2:24.8 | That's an hour or two to either work for a diligent worker. It's an hour or two to work out. |
| 2:32.0 | It's an hour or two to read, to relax, to garden, to knit, to clean up their house. |
| 2:41.1 | How many people don't have to rush to get out of the house because they get a workman |
| 2:45.0 | coming to their house and they need to beat him there? How many times does that happen to you |
| 2:49.8 | if you don't have a stay-at-home wife who can meet the guys that come to the house, the plumbers |
| 2:55.5 | and electricians and all the things that go wrong and you have to do that. Or if you're the wife |
