    From the article:

    The answer was pollution. Counties that experienced the biggest job losses in the Great Recession, the economists found, also saw the largest declines in air pollution, as measured by levels of the fine particulate matter PM2.5.

    Seems like a good case to promote work from home. WFH is such a win on so many fronts, yet there’s been a big push to get people back in offices. We are in the bad place.
