I thought it was Arsenio Hall
Corporations should NOT be calling workers back. Worker productivity, along with Business saving tons of money without the physical offices , has made the private sector much better.
Looks just like downtown Dallas.. or any other major US city... just dying, crumbling infrastructure... homeless drug addicts hanging around. It's crazy
Tell you what 2Cents, why don't you walk on down to your closest Social Security office and walk in and ask to speak with a rep? The guard (he's required to be there) will tell you that you need to call and make an appointment, all visits are by appointment only. Walk on back home and call to make an appointment - NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE, even if you hold for hours! And that is why people need to get back into the office. If you are believing that you get 8 hours work for 8 hours pay from people at home, you're living in a fantasy land!
THATS not because of people working from home. Productivity has been proven to INCREASE with people working from home. People that work from home still have to PRODUCE and show results like traditional workers. The problem you're having, is nobody is answering the phones PERIOD in your area. Perhaps they all got laid off or fired.
What’s your point?
If there are THAT MANY ILLEGALS, then SOMETHING IS DRASTICALLY WRONG!!!!
Very sad.
That city used to be packed with offices and stores rentals in the mid 90's before we moved back to Canada. It's shocking. But in my city in London, Canada the downtown is blighted with drug addicts and vagrants. Businesses are leaving because the city won't deal with the problem. But Klingon Brandon and Gargoyle Lightfoot, really helped ruined the downtown core due all of the George Floyd riots and the random mass swarming robberies. It's pathetic. Add to this the high taxation and unsafe surroundings that compounds the situation.
Klingon brandon 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Smerzone It's that apex style haircut in middle of his head .... :)
Yup..Like a commenter said below about Philly, the same in DC..Bowser was complaining about the lack of patrons in the eateries and cafes that are downtown, as well as other businesses. It's not the job of government or any employee for that matter to patronize a business if they don't want to. Now, something that wasn't broken, will be broken in many pieces and it will be hard to fix.
When Obama was president, he moved manufacturing out of the US. That was the beginning of the 🌪️ of jobs. Now that Trump, a BUSINESS MAN, is the president, he’ll bring jobs back! 👍🏼🇺🇸
You’re correct on costs of labor. But what makes it worse is that MANY of them are paid under the table and the companies and workers don’t pay tax. But they live off the tax payers dime. Also, almost all illegal workers send a huge portion of that money back to their families and its strips Americas wealth.! More money going out than coming in. We are already BROKE!
Right!!
And Brandon is only worried about the illegal immigrants 🤔 Maybe he thinks he has all of this extra space but guess what? The federal hand outs to illegals is about to disappear.💨 Great vid but so sad to see my Brother. 🙏🇺🇸🦅
Thanks for watching. This is happening across the country. Its even worse in small towns. Crazy!
Who?
chicago is ghetto
Trying to get us back to the pumps…
👍🏾
This has nothing to do with work from home. It has to do with a woke mayor who puts the needs of criminals and illegals before the citizens of Chicago. How long do you think the business will stay when they are getting looted over and over and at the same time are getting taxed to death.
👍🏾
And you know why these stores are vacant because of the crime and theft in those neighborhoods that are mostly caused by the immigrants that they are protecting in this city, they go into these stores.They steal everything they can carry out the front door and then they sell it on the sidewalk in the front and nobody does anything about it
This was happening before the immigration ordeal. But they caused some damage too
@@Smerzone Then your city is a lost cause.
Philly has been honest saying the reason city employees have to return to the office is to help bring back l8fe to CentervCity businesses
Wow
cost of living wages are around 3 % a year since the 70's - No body can afford to go down town to shop. I shop online
My ex died on January 12th, and I spent 10 hours in two phone calls trying to reach the SSA to apply for widows benefits. I never got anyone on the phone, so on January 21st, I went to the office. They aren't accepting walk-ins UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Criminal Behavior. How many of these employees are actually working other jobs while collecting a paycheck?
My condolences Deanna. The state and federal departments need an overhaul on customer service.
@Smerzone Thank you. Everything needs to be fixed, but it won't be by a human.
@@Deanna_OneOneyou literally just made a comment advocating for a return to office. Lol
@GovmntLacky People are being paid to work, and those of us paying are not receiving the services that we are paying for.
@@Deanna_OneOne oh… I agree 100%. I was merely saying you made an argument FOR return to office on a video that is against it.
A prime example of “you reap what you sow.” There are consequences when you vote in a progressive Left POTUS (serving 2021-2024) and a progressive Left mayor in a beautiful major city. These consequences have a name. They are called, karma.
So true. Thanks for the real life!
You are welcome!! Thanks for watching
Metal Leo kind of stuff but Chicago style. "GONE NOW!"
I gotta look him up. Thanks for watching
Cities are the largest prisons ever built owned by the government and big corporations but run by the inmates and the public are the inmates
Interesting take. Explain ?
@Smerzone look what they are trying to make people do now you can do the work at home or anywhere you want to go with the technology today outside the city prison Walls but they are trying to keep people in the city because like you said they way of life that they created is dying and they are just trying to keep the prison Walls standing as long as possible now with artificial intelligence they really I'm not going to need people anymore as fossil fuels can't power all the artificial intelligence that's coming along with everything else that we been using for decades fossil fuels will run dry in 60 years oil will be first to go then natural gas coal will be last to dry up all around the end of this century but they are not going to tell the public that but it's inevitable
They want people to come back to the office because real estate values are plummeting downtown.
No reason to come to Chicago, there is no Marshall Fields anymore
Yup. They ended an era
looking more and more like Portland Oregon everyday , Chicago are you enjoying your new Mayor
No!!
I thought that was government employees?
Alot of corporations are calling people back.
@@Smerzone Corporations should NOT be calling workers back. Worker productivity, along with Business saving tons of money without the physical offices , has made the private sector much better.
One thing society isn’t acknowledging is that in theory these downtown businesses are non essential and technically destination businesses. Meaning business is only driven when people are in the area for work which realistically is not sound reason anymore. Good businesses integrate themselves in people’s day-day lives. You don’t see local businesses in neighborhoods close bc they compliment each other. Yes - downtown businesses are not local businesses.
Good point
Well my friend is all the cities are like that Ellie's like that St Louis you can go down probably Florida I'm sure New York is like that it's just what's going on but keep in mind they going to have to fix this and all the cities it's just not your city just pretty much all the cities I've seen it in LA.and in San Francisco unfortunately that's what's going on.
NY is not like that
Can confirm that San Francisco, Los Angeles, El Paso, Minneapolis, St Louis and Detroit are just like Chicago or worse
I work from home and got promoted because of my productivity
Congratulations!!!

Prophet Jesus will return
Idiot
Great coverage, terrible for the city though - same thing happened to downtown toronto at one point but it is recovering.
It's going to be interesting to see how things develop in both cities.
All the cities will be deconstructed. New America will be agrarian in nature.
Please explain. Thanks for watching
It's always about the wealthy, always. They distract with devicive topics like religions, race, sexual orientation, a united country threatens their bottom line.
👍🏾
SMH reading some of the ignorant comments. WFH is not for everybody or job. But my staff of 100 employees work longer/harder & more productive WFH. Got metrics fm the past 10 yrs to prove it. Being in the office may lead to more distractions. Many commentors have made good points re: WFH. A couple of more: I worked in a large bldg. 15-30m/day avg time going to meetings to meetings. Multiply that by # of emps doing the same thing. Wasteful. Also, my employees are all of the country. So, I'm still doing virtual meetings. SMH.
Thanks for commenting. Are you all hiring?

Another thing is that taxes have gotten so high a lot of business are Chicago i had friends and coworkers Chicago and the state because of this
Thats true. Illinois is one of the most expensive states for taxes.
Hey bro good video. Stay safe out there.
Thank you, I will
Its not companies, bud. It’s city and state business regulators trying to pinch every last penny out of us in one form or another in taxes, fees, gas ect. Look at the bigger picture. Who REALLY has the most to gain or lose as far as revenue?
Lots of crab bucketting here, working from home is not a vacation, your working, often longer hours than in office. And its worth it cause your not wasting your time in traffic, id happily work from home 9 hours a day than 8 with 2 hours wasted on commuting. Not to mention money saved on gas.
I go to work everyday and so can all Federal workers. I worked right through the pandemic watching all of you stay home and get paid. Well, your vacation is over.
Every situation is not the same, to make broad statements assuming all rules should apply to everyone is short-sided and not well thought out. I say this as someone who also worked throughout the pandemic, heck even picked up a 2nd job during 2020 for a period bc ppl in the household jobs closed bc of covid but the bills never stopped so I pushed even harder and "did not" complain and never fell behind. For anyone trying to take shortcuts and get paid for doing less will only shoot themselves in the foot.
What do you do for a living? I don't know what you've been told. Ain't no vacation doing telework
Sounds like you JUST JEALOUS 😊..
@@MrInternational1980NONE ⛪️
Cathie9614 sounds like she a nurse 😂 she couldn’t work from home if she wanted to.. my bro u are right on with this video definitely opened my eyes 👀
People need to report back onsite to work, a maybe Hybrid schedule, Or start their own company. That said, Nurses, doctors, EMS workers, sanitation workers, stock personnel for grocery stores, daycare workers, cashiers, teachers, police officers, mail carriers, Gas station Attendants, McDonalds, farmers, traders, contractors, construction workers, housekeepers and etc have reported to Work throughout the Pandemic…
cool not every role requires you to be in person.
At this point, there needs to be some sort of flexible work arrangement for every type of role. I've worked at hospitals. A flexible work schedule can be implemented for those who are clinical and must be on site. Heck, most of these people can benefit from having a real break room, with real breaks and being able to get their meals without spending half of their lunch hour on a cafeteria line or going to a vendor outside of the facility. The WILL has to be present from management to work out a plan to help employees have work/life balance. It would work out favorably for both sides.
👍🏾
And while i agree with the fact that the roles above require in person work, others don't and what can be done remotely,, home or other remote spot can and should be continued.
Illegals are bad news and all sorts of way especially these types. They are not here for asylum but for economics (job/or NO job). They are a delight for employment because they are willing to work at much lower wages causing US workers to go unemployed and inflation going higher. The illegals leech from the state/city funds, as you already know. Illegals do not pay taxes and often times send their US dollars to their own home country. The illegals were allowed here to create a one political party country. The bad news goes on and on. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching!
I'm getting the 5 days RTO and I'm definitely not going to collaborate or spend money for anything otherthan gas for my carbon footprint
👍🏾
With you 100%!! Good stuff!!
They want to control you and exert their authority over employees. And yes, the businesses around the offices are suffering. But, i would imagine that employees are saving money by not spending money unnecessarily...
It’s always a Money thing
This looks like Memphis Tenn downtown year round Memphis was flourishing decades ago.
Yup I was just in Memphis I saw some redevelopment near the university tho
