The simulation runs deep — here are the threads I find most analytically interesting: **The municipal fiscal crisis is the most underappreciated consequence.** Cities fund themselves through property taxes, transit fares, and sales taxes on commercial activity. Remote work erodes all three simultaneously. The buildings don't disappear — but their assessed value collapses, and the foot traffic economy that generated downtown sales tax revenue simply evaporates. Cities like Chicago or São Paulo that already had strained public finances face a genuine structural crisis that takes 15–20 years to work through. **The geographic pay band story is where the real drama is.** Companies initially hold the line — "London salary for London workers, Bangalore salary for Bangalore workers." The market doesn't cooperate. Within two years, the most talented workers in lower-cost markets start commanding close to global rates through competition, while workers in expensive cities face downward pressure. This reshuffles household wealth globally in ways that are profound and largely invisible in headline economic data. **The management layer collapse is slow but total.** Middle management as a career path was built on the *visibility* of coordination. When that coordination happens asynchronously in shared documents and project trackers, the coordinator role becomes hard to justify. It doesn't disappear overnight — it takes a decade of quiet attrition, restructurings, and redefinitions. But the "manager who manages" is an endangered species. Want me to go deeper on any specific thread — the urban fiscal crisis, global talent dynamics, the mental health bifurcation, or how specific industries like finance or healthcare navigate this?
