I can't see too many White Supremacists tucking up in bed with a nerdy fantasy book in the first place!

contrary to you belief that last minute mergers are asshats (and some may be) but zipper merging is actually more effective.

Zipper merging is effectively using both lanes until reaching the obstruction, then merging (calmly) into the open lane

There is an explanation as to why companies are beginning to mandate work from offices.

Companies with a multitude of remote workers can state: All workers must now work from an office... effectively getting a layoff that isn't legally a layoff.

They are giving employees a 'choice' to either commute or relocate (or not be employed). They are certain to get a RIF without all of the normal protections employees would otherwise have.
