Food and gasoline prices have skyrocketed. Infrastructure is a mess in most of the country so it takes longer and longer to get anywhere at peak times. Companies have cut costs in offices so they're just crowded and full of distraction and germs. So yeah, lots of time and money is saved by working from home.
