Re: Early Remote Work Impacts on Family Formation
#2My kids were born well before the pandemic, but, as remote worker, being able to hang out at home with them has been great[^1] I'm much more involved in their life than I would be if I was getting home at 6pm+ every evening.
[^1]: Once they were old enough they didn't need constant supervision. Trying to work from home with a toddler was a nightmare.

#3Besides remote work I think more flexibility for part time work would be helpful.

Billionaires should be banned from speaking on anything other than their areas of expertise.
They get an outsized platform to spout absolute nonsense on topics outside their core expertise.

#5I had my firstborn from my new fully WFH job, in the middle/tailend of the pandemic.
It has totally been a blast having the little one around. I work in my living area which is open plan into my kitchen, so I get to see her learning how to eat out of the corner of my eyes when I'm in work meetings, etc.
My personal suggestion: if you're working from home with children, don't try and seperate and go into the study; do the opposite, being out work and make it a part of every day. It's like the photos of your family you have on your desk, but in real life.
YMMV.

Just ban them full stop.
Huge amounts of people don't have enough money to participate in the economy at the same time as billionaires show themselves to be useless or worse, ban them and have a decent basic income - let's say current min wage + some %

That's odd, I had no problem with working from home with toddlers, but I wasn't trying to do two full time jobs, on any given day either I was dedicated to looking after the kids or my partner was.
Looking after a toddler is a full time job.

I agree. Let's start with Bill Gates and Larry Fink.

That’s what taxes are supposed to be for, except billionaires are the best positioned to not pay them

I will defend the freedom of speech for literal Nazis, even though I don’t want to hear Nazi speech.
I think it’s fair to estimate that policy is extraordinarily unlikely to be enacted in the US.
