In a recent government audit, it was uncovered that an alarming 80% of federally leased office spaces are vacant, yet still funded by taxpayer dollars. Amidst debates on the necessity of traditional office spaces in the wake of shifting work models, this report highlights a significant inefficiency in government spending. While private companies like Amazon and Microsoft navigate the complexities of hybrid work environments, the federal government seems to be at a crossroads, grappling with the possibility of a permanent shift to telework, which could render much of its office space redundant. The audit, conducted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), not only sheds light on the current underutilization of these spaces but also on the broader implications for government expenditure and the potential for more strategic resource management. The implications of this are not just confined to government sectors. The ripple effects are felt across cities like Seattle, where the decrease in office occupancy has led to significant changes in urban businesses, such as the closure of the PCC grocery store in downtown due to the diminished downtown workforce. This scenario mirrors the challenges faced by many businesses in metropolitan areas, raising questions about the future landscape of our cities and the role of physical workspaces. This situation underscores the need for a reassessment of not just the government's, but also society's approach to work, space, and the economy at large. #governmentaudit #taxpayerdollars #officevacancy ?? ??????? ???? ??????????+ ??? ?????????? ?????? ? https://ReasonableTV.com/ ?????????? 00:00 Introduction to Government Office Space Vacancy Rates 01:48 Teleworking and Its Impact on Federal Office Usage 04:05 Reevaluating Office Space Necessity Post-Pandemic 05:30 Downtown Seattle Store Closures and Business Impacts 06:39 Public Rallies and Personal Stance on Israel 08:56 Analyzing Specific Agency Office Capacities 11:03 Federal Agencies' Utilization Rates and Study Methodology 12:25 The Defense Department's Underused Facilities 14:12 Remote Work Trends Among Younger Generations 21:29 Humorous Suggestions for Unused Office Spaces ?️ ????? - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/ ? ???? our ????

The closure of Oakland's In-N-Out Burger, a cherished fast-food institution for 18 years, has sparked controversy and concern among local residents. The decision, made public by the COO Denny Warick, cites rampant property theft, armed robberies, and continuous property damage as primary reasons. Despite profitability, the location's safety concerns for employees and customers have become untenable. This move reflects a growing trend in Oakland, where businesses are forced to shut down or alter operations due to escalating crime rates. Oakland Police have reported a 23% reduction in auto burglaries in the area, but this appears insufficient in curbing the broader safety issues. The closure, scheduled for late March, underscores the challenges faced by businesses in maintaining operations amidst rising crime and safety risks in urban areas. #InNOutOaklandClosure #UrbanSafetyCrisis #BusinessCrimeImpact ?? ??????? ???? ??????????+ ??? ?????????? ?????? ? https://ReasonableTV.com/ ?????????? 00:00 - In-N-Out Closes 02:05 - Police Increase Patrols 04:20 - Profitability Amidst Crime 06:09 - Community Safety Priority 08:24 - Oakland Crime Escalation 10:12 - Political Decisions Critiqued 12:04 - Business Exits Escalate 13:57 - Crime Risks Unmanageable 15:48 - Safety Over Profitability 17:11 - Businesses Abandon Oakland 19:03 - Progressive Policies Blamed ?️ ????? - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/ ? ???? our ????
