Discussing remote work, he argued, in essence, that many people have to show up in person—people who manufacture cars, prepare and deliver food, or make house calls to perform repairs. If they cannot work from home, why should people who sit at computers be allowed to? In his view, this was not merely a question of productivity but a moral issue.</p>
