Covid mostly rearranged our lives was for the better. We were just exiting a decade of hunger-level poverty and the pandemic helped further along our escape. It was really nice to not be devastated for once.

Then the housing crisis hit and our long-time rental was sold. We landed okay but only because we beat extremely long odds.

Presently, this is the stability my kids have ever known; it's the most stable I've been since the early 1980s.

Not sure why your down voted. Your just telling it for how it is. Covid rocked for wfh. Those of us that wanted it but never had it could.

I have to agree. If I have to decide between no covid + RTO vs covid + WFH, well, the second is it.
