Very annoying, but there is a relatively quick workaround for those that don't know: On Chrome, Inspect the page and go to settings, then click 'Disable JavaScript'. Reload with Inspect open and you should be able to bypass most paywalls.

#5While this pandemic will definitely create global shifts and city shifts, it's a bit unfair to look at the losses of service sector jobs and call them permanent.
I'm sure there will be permanent job losses but the majority of major cities are no where close to being 100% reopened, and the public even in open cities hasn't returned to normal life.
If anything what the article highlights is that it is easier to shift your job if you were spending all day on a computer to remote work, and a service level job can't do that.
The V-shaped recovery stopped for service level work and basically shows to watch extent major cities are still "closed".

Does this trick work on mobile safari where you can disable JS?
Edit - It does! Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > JavaScript, and turn the toggle to “off”.
I’m sure lots of things you are used to no longer work when you disable JS. I’d recommend making a shortcut!

#9The list of companies announcing permanent remote work policy changes grows by the week. The hope for a quick return to normal continues to fade into 2021. On-site will certainly make a big comeback at some point and the Economist will no doubt write about it breathlessly. But things have changed and the future is not going to look like the past. The economy will redistribute prices and labor and there will eventually be a new normal. I agree with the article that we will eventually be better for it, but in the short term it will hurt many.
