First up, how much of the downturn in CBD spend is because of govt. layoffs? And how much is countered by an upturn in the wider region as people go to cafés in Kapiti & Upper Hutt instead of Wellington?

Secondly, for about 10 years govt agencies have been aiming for smaller offices and more people working from home. They can't just turn it around like that, lots of places won't have enough desks

I got my wife a fancy puzzle for her birthday- took up the dining table for 2 weeks, well worth it!

This is why I shun management roles, but then people think you just don't have ambition. I actually just don't want to deal with people.

I still remember my landline number from when I was 4 and there were only 5 digits. It makes me feel extremely old.

Ok I guess. It's cold and wet here. How about you?

My 2c as a non American: The politically active "far-left" will likely hold their noses & vote for Biden as "damage reduction".

The non-voters will be the disenfranchised, suppressed and the "non-political".

Then whatever happens, democrats will blame the "far-left" and talk about how they could have done better if only they'd appealed to some imaginary conservative swing voter who doesn't exist.
