related to people traveling to, and working out of, workplaces that are not their own home ... and hence how badly they are getting hit in the pocketbook by WFH?

One might wonder what their motives might be in causing people to be disinclined towards the whole WFH thing.

Let me also add one could easily see this matter eventually becoming a socially divisive issue. Not the taxes part they're talking about, but it's another 'haves vs have-nots' wedge that can be driven among the population.
