Biden is Urging People to Get Back to the Office. Why?
There’s nothing wrong with working from home, is there?
Biden has certainly had a lot on his plate in recent weeks. Record setting gas prices, a global pandemic, inflation, polling that continues to sink and of course, the war in Ukraine. Of course, none of that has stopped Biden from taking the time to urge the American people back into the office in recent days not once, but twice.
Alexander Nazaryan with Yahoo News writes:
“For the second time in a week, President Biden on Friday urged for an end to remote work, framing the much-delayed return to the office for millions of white-collar workers as necessary for the United States to move beyond the pandemic.
“Because of the progress we’ve made fighting COVID, Americans can not only get back to work, but they can go to the office and safely fill our great downtown cities again,” Biden said during remarks from the White House that touched on February’s encouraging job numbers, which saw the unemployment rate fall to 3.8 percent…”
Biden also brought up the matter at the State of the Union, clearly indicating that this is going to be an issue that his administration continues to push.
But, why?
