from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington broadcast center.

So we're just talking about, you know, the never ending topic of how many people will end up going back to the workplace, remote working, etc. and how Morgan Stanley in New York has said, yeah, yeah, if you're going to get a little bit more, you're going to get a little bit more.

Yeah, if you're not in your desk by Labor Day, we're going to renegotiate your salary because we're paying you a New York salary for being here.

We're not going to pay you the same amount if you're going to work remotely. And I wonder if that'll start happening in a lot of your more expensive cities for partially because you would make the argument, hey, if we're here in San Francisco and I'm paying you to be in here and you're going to work remotely.

Well, I think I can probably get somebody as good or better for less that lives somewhere else.

Sure, suburban Albuquerque. Why not? Yeah, why am I paying the you live in San Francisco salary, the competition for those jobs just expanded exponentially?

Oh, absolutely. Now if you have a contract, then you're getting into, you know, some some shaky territory.

Yeah, I wonder if there's any contract law around that. Like, I'll bet a lot of contracts, never stipulate that you need to come into the building.

It was just assumed because of your horse, you would, of course you would. It's the only way to stipulate and you have to be alive. Yeah, or where shoes, nobody's contracts as you need to wear shoes, cover your genitals.

Um, but the list is endless.

But then this from the Atlantic, which is currently out, Derek Thompson discusses the future of working from home, beginning with the question, who wins?

Thompson posits that established we've talked about this established white collar workers benefit and will continue to benefit from the work life balance that working from home offers others such as entry level workers will need to make an impression on their co workers will miss out on coffee runs and commiseration.

If the pre pandemic office was like a fine dining experience, a large group enters sits down together and leaves several hours later, the post pandemic office may be, maybe more like a neighborhood cafe people will come and go, you'll recognize some of them, but feel estranged from others. And the office might convey a sense of both vague belonging and day to day transients.

And those of us with a lot of turnover in our industry already feel that way. Yeah, it's all the true is already bad enough of you. Yeah, we used to joke about this and then it just became true.

Don't really take the time to get to know some people because you don't think they're going to be around very long anyway. So you just don't even bothered to learn their names or say, hey, nice to meet you.

Where do you live? You married? You got kids. What do you do for fun? Yeah, no point. God, I think back years ago, there's no way there are people around here. I've worked with.

For years, I have no idea if they're married single have kids, no idea. Likewise, when I was early in my career, I would have been to I was it I'd bend everybody's home and them to mine.

I feel I think it's illegal for me to even ask those questions of modern coerced. Hey, well, what's life like out here? Oh, HR meeting. What are your medical difficulties? Which way do you swing?

So Kevin Faulkner, who's running for governor in California, former mayor of San Diego, if Gavin Newsom is recalled, Kevin Faulkner is hoping that he gets the highest number and ends up governor of California.

But he just he just retweeted. I'll just read what the tweet is this just happened at the Walgreens at golf and fell streets in San Francisco Walgreens. I know.

And it's a video. I'm looking at it right here. Listen into the audio. We got we got a post this so you can see it. It's somebody taking a video of what happens now in cities like San Francisco.

Here's a guy looks to be homeless. He's on a bike and he's got a trash bag. He's in the Walgreens. He's just grabbing stuff off the shows like arm load just shoveling it into the bag.
