All very good but we got to hope us all sitting at home popping out now and then. Provides enough of an economy to employ us all.
A lot of the people who consume and therefore pay for the work we do. Work in those facilities management, building security, shop worker, cafe and restaurant workers, public transportation etc.
If there is no demand or it dramatically reduces possibly a lot of us remote workers will find we also are no longer needed or far worse compensated.
We all need to look at the chain that feeds us.
What is going to replace the busy cities, airports, offices and all the infrastructure and it's supply chain?

overall is a positive thing to consume less and produce more with the time saved by transportation. We should not work jobs only to keep the GDP machine busy.

A lot of IT roles will disappear also.
