> Propaganda piece from economists

Weird, propaganda doesn't tend to come from economists in my mental model. To be fair, the one economist I've seen seriously looking into this is Nick Bloom, whose research on the descriptive statistics side of things shows WFH Hybrid is here to stay.

There are some commercial real estate folks predicting a cratering of comm RE values if WFH is continued, but I'd argue that's just capitalist creative destruction at its best.

In my mental model, propaganda can come from anyone with a political agenda, and that will certainly include economists from time to time.

The person/people/groups writing the thing may not even be aware they’re creating propaganda. Arguably it’s more effective that way.

As a central tendency or as an occasional but infrequent experience?
