Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is technology changing rapidly enough to allow more people to work remotely?

Prior to the Coronavirus pandemic, were more workers already seeking flex-hours?

Flex-hours and remote-working is still very new, and not just because many have been forced into the situation due to the Coronavirus quarantine. Are some employers hesitant to allow their workers to try this on a permanent basis?

Are some states like California trying to force all workers to NOT work remotely at all?

How could flex-hours and working remotely affect benefits, such as employee provided medical insurance?
