Well, when you spend six figure salaries on the Assistant to the Associate Dean of Diversity and Inclusion, that tends to happen.

But now that the boomers have also had to embrace remote tech, while still making the majority of decisions at companies, they are going to start looking at that rent item on the balance sheet and see the potential for large savings.
This is exactly what's happening at my firm. Even the boomers realize there's a metric shite ton of money to be saved on real estate costs, especially for our offices in NYC, Boston, DC, Baltimore, LA, etc.

Depends. In my case, our office productivity def. went up.

I'm taking a 4 week virtual course for work that started yesterday. Between Microsoft Teams and Zoom failings I can't wait to go back into an office setting.
Working remotely fricking sucks.

So sick of Teams ... it’s the way teachers meetings and the way we are supposed to meet with virtual kids

The way public education is handling it doesn't even make sense. These fools never heard of Khan Academy?

I think we are gonna be stuck in a mask in public for 3 or 4 years. I could see them letting us be in crowds but only with a mask starting sometime at the beginning of next year.

Umm, no. They aren't calling them in. That doesn't fly with the DEA. They are sending them electronically which they have been encouraging physicians to adopt for at least 5 years, maybe longer. It's called E-prescribing and they should have been doing it long ago. My doctor finally caved and started doing it last year.
But, but, but....the doctor needs to be able to bill you to show up and get your prescription filled out to send in.
The biggest issue in this country with healthcare is the cost and something that is still ignored by those in charge.

Same could be said spending 100k plus for an assistant professor. IIRC I saw the avg for one at Culverhouse is around 150k

You're absolutely right. It's fricking pathetic.

Speaking of technology and what's working. I've heard coach Saban and Golding in their pressers bragging about the virtues of ZOOM meetings with the players. They been giving the guys mental reps and walking them through their assignments in virtual land during the off-season and it apparently is paying big dividends. Both have spoken about the players being mentally further ahead than any other time since they've been here. That's saying a lot considering our guys had zero spring to sound anything down. The only thing you have to wonder, with results like that, can the NCAA really be that far away?

Public education as we know may finally get the needed change. The system was already being challenged with homeschooling ranks growing, charter school expansion, and even private school enrollment increasing.
Our current system has been in shambles since Carter created the Dept of Education which has micromanaged our current system to lag behind the rest of the world in many areas. Not to mention a 500 million dollar annual expense just to run the building in DC.

Nine months now since this started in March.
Can't believe we're still months away from any significant return to normalcy (if that).
Regarding what changes come out of this event, I think the masks and social distancing will probably continue to stick around for a while, even with a vaccine.
How are y'all doing out there?

When I get the shots, im headed to a restaurant to eat. I wont worry about being around people, so it will make a difference in the way I live, mask or not.

I know some older folks who have essentially been stuck in their houses for months. They're afraid to do anything around other people, even family.
The toll that this is taking on us as a society is terrible.
