While not a bank, my wife work has never been to the house. I put doors on the office and she is hard wired as required, but they have never looked.

Banks don’t want to inspect your home office, so they’re forcing hundreds of employees to come in five days a week
Renewed rules for workplace inspections every few years are being blamed for mass return-to-office efforts.
FTFY
Because you know damn well crowds like walmart and amazon will have forced suppliers to take a big hit.
The percentage margin they put on the goods is highly likely to be the same or only slightly lower.

I’m going to treat this as the ‘economy’ thread.
Ran across this today:
Including this great quote:
“As the Financial Times asked yesterday, ‘Whatever happened to the wisdom of the bond market?’
While FX trades like an ADHD toddler who just ingested a 2-litre bottle of soda and a box of hard
candy, and equities like a love-struck teenager who thinks a happy ending always looms, bonds
are supposed to trade like a boring professor with a pipe. Yet due to algos, the 1987-2020
Greenspan of market time, and the post-2008 ego-trip where, like ugly politicians, bonds were
surrounded by adoring crowds for the first time, now rates markets are all “RATE CUTS!”
In pandering to that, the Fed have arguably helped transmogrify the US from industrialised, with a
vast middle class, vast open land, vast strategic strength, low public debt, and a low cost of living
to financialised, with a shrunken middle class, unaffordable housing, fading strategic strength,
high public debt, and a high cost of living.”

Health insurance is such a scam.

Those who need therapy often have to pay out of pocket or go without care, even if they have health insurance. Hundreds of mental health providers told us they fled networks because insurers made their jobs impossible and their lives miserable.
