Amazon SLASHES 49K Desks – Socialist Seattle’s Office DOOM LOOP Accelerates
17th March 2026
Supposedly every cloud has a silver lining. One might say that the ‘silver lining’ of the Pandemic Panic is that companies woke up to the fact that, with modern technology, they didn’t have to cram all of their employees into a single location. From the beginning of the world down to 2020, the unconscious assumption that everyone in business made was, that efficiency was a Good Thing, that efficiency depended on ease of communications, and that ease of communications required physical proximity. COVID forced people away from each other, and a lot of companies discovered that this assumption no longer held true. As a result, dense urban cores such as those that characterize places like New York and San Francisco lost a lot of their value, and lose more and more of it as dense urban cores turn increasingly socialist in fact if not in name..
Socialism is inherently totalitarian. You can be a socialist in a free country, but you can’t be free in a socialist country, because freedom is based on legally-enforced property rights, and socialism is based on the destruction of any meaningful property rights.
Businesses that had been stuck in progressive hellholes like Seattle discovered that, hey, we don’t need an urban core to have a productive business. So we’re not stuck here subject to socialist leeching; we can decentralize and put our people where it’s best for them personally and for the organization as a business.
“Socialism works … for those who don’t.”
