It is a cartoon of three different types of workers: remote, hybrid, and office. The image is titled "Types of Workers" and was created by Irina Blok. 

All three works are at sitting at a desk in their home, home office, or office and in-front of a computer screen and doing video conferring meetings.


The cartoon is humorous, but it also reflects the reality of the modern workplace. Many people now work remotely or in a hybrid arrangement, and the traditional office worker is becoming less common.

New, by me: Last year, a fraudster hijacked a former Microsoft executive's home address and rerouted his mail, all because of a glaring β€” yet widely documented! β€” flaw in how the U.S. Postal Services processes changes of addresses.

There is a simple fix! But the USPS won't say how it plans to close the loophole.

Yeah but they apparently are convinced it will be feasible enough to actually build that. I can see the potential too for city trains, since the electric grid is the most complicated and vulnerable part of it, if we remove that for the equation, city train lines became much easier to build and maintain.
