All remote work is a first step in a revolution that will double the GDP of the world. In the thread below I'll describe how all remote education, connectivity, city safety, city density, and city services can unlock the rest. @SpaceX @LambdaSchool and @2xgdp are working on this. @SpaceX @LambdaSchool @2xgdp If people are free to migrate to areas of opportunity we can double the GDP of the world copenhagenconsensus.com/sites/default/… People living in areas of opportunity have grown sceptical of physical migration but remote offers the opportunity to move without leaving your country.

Below is a thread about the future of remote work after the COVID-19 pandemic is over. I predict that remote will go through a trough of sorrow due to hybrid not working out, and most companies will return to being office based. But many all remote companies will see success. The great news of this week is that from now on remote work will be allowed at Twitter, Square, Facebook and Shopify. But that doesn't mean that they will close their headquarters or other offices. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
