That's exactly why they're trying to ban it.
Well, no shit.
Sometimes in the future they will invent the wheel.
Maybe if you live in a nice place. My apartment is a shit hole and I’d rather be at work most days. I’d probably sleep under my desk George Constanza style if that was possible.

Overall, our results suggest that the rise in remote work and TFP growth are positively correlated. From 2019 to 2021, the (weighted) average percentage-point increase in remote workers across industries was 14.9. This suggests that the rise in remote work was associated with an average 1.2 percentage-points increase in industry-level TFP.
