What employers get wrong about return to the office
Good morning. Who else wants to just keep working from home?

How many of you fine people have been working from home since the COVID pandemic took hold of the, well, world? What if we told you it's a bad idea to start thinking about going back and that any bosses suggesting otherwise are basically wrong. Yes, our bosses too. Just don't tell them. 

As always, thanks for subscribing to this newsletter. You're super smart for that. 

It's a mistake to return to offices as delta variant surges

By Gleb Tsipursky

With vaccine effectiveness against the delta variant dropping to perhaps as low as 39%, it's pure folly to pursue a return to working in offices.

Make no mistake about the danger: The delta surge is forecast to grow much worse in the next few months.

White extremism is winning in my Vermont town. I'm leaving

By Michael Shank

There's a movement metastasizing across America. It's well armed, it's extreme, and it's led largely by white men. They're enraged, they're feeling entitled, and they're taking ground wherever it's given. And while the movement clearly got new wind in its sails under the Trump administration, it's now self-sustaining. The Jan. 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill was just the tip of this seething iceberg, as last week's anguished police testimony to Congress made clear. This movement isn't going away anytime soon. 

More police won't save cities like Detroit. Defunding police will

By Erin Keith

There's no clear correlation between the number of police officers and crime rates. Why? The police primarily respond to incidents after they've occurred, after the harm has been done. And even then, many folks have experienced calling the police after something bad has happened and watching them take a report that leads to nowhere. 

The city's police department has an abysmal record when it comes to solving violent crime – in fact it's one of the worst in the country.
