Should you get a ticket for accidentally driving over the speed limit because your speedometer was broken? Should the company who made the speedometer get the ticket? What if the speedometer was broken due to a bug software the speedometer company bought? Should that company get the ticket?
If you don’t need to be near Manhattan you don’t need to live there. Or maybe your loud neighbors won’t need to live there. Ceteris paribus working from home kinda sucks, but if you think about how many systems will change, I think it’s gonna get better.
