That's great for jobs that you can do that, but it begs the question if it's that easy is it actually something useful, or just paper shuffling? Does an actual product get made?
It almost makes us start to have to differentiate between remote jobs, and 'Real' jobs.
You can't replace a water main by remote. I can't produce drinking water from home. We're approaching a point where we're just not going to have first world infrastructure that enables you to even work from home, because no one will be there to run it or build it.
Best of luck remote WFH-ing with no mains power ever, and no water service, no sewage collection. These skills take YEARS in the job to even be allowed by the state to take the test to hold the license you need to do the job, by law. I came into my current job operating a water plant with a masters degree, and the state says that's cool, now you need 5 years working in this plant as an apprentice THEN you're qualified to take the giant test to get the license to do your job, there is no shortcut there. 5 years regardless of other education is the bare minimum, and it has to be IN PERSON, and it has to be on the clock, they went back and audited my timesheets for 6 years to make sure I worked at least 2080 hours a year, every year, before they'd issue my license.
Now, it makes sense when you realize I make one mistake in my job and 10,000 people could die.
