    “Could be?”

    We know it is. I don’t wish for Covid again, but remember when all the waterways started clearing up (didn’t dolphins show up in Venice at some point?) and the smog cleared in places that haven’t seen a blue sky in decades?

        You joke, but a coworker literally said “well there’s no way to really know for sure it was because people were staying inside, it was probably just more forest food than usual that spring” when I pointed out a positive if covid being nature bouncing back just a tiny bit.

        Also can someone tell me what “forest food” is? Sure I know what he meant but that’s no fun

      We had a perfect enforced experiment to show that remote work for many positions was just as effective, that people were happier, the environment improved, and that big societal changes were totally possible. Then rich people decided the ideal goal for society was just doing all the same bad shit we’d been doing for decades.
