Deutsche Bank argues that in a time of pervasive covid shutdowns, "those who can work from home (WFH) receive direct and indirect financial benefits and they should be taxed in order to smooth the transition process for those who have been suddenly displaced."
In other words, the argument goes that working from an office is somehow punitive, and since WFH during the pandemic leads to "many benefits" as a resulting "disconnecting themselves from face-to-face society" a 5% tax for each WFH day "would leave the average person no worse off than if they worked in the office." The bank calculates that such a tax could raise $49bn per year in the US, €20bn in Germany, and £7bn in the UK. "That can fund subsidies for the lowest-paid workers who usually cannot work from home."
Some will argue against the tax. They will say that engagement with the economy is a personal choice and they should not be penalised for making that decision. Yet, these people should remember that governments have always backsolved taxes to suit the social environment. Consider that in centuries past, when it was socially unpalatable in the UK to introduce an income tax, the government implemented a window tax. As society changed, the window tax was abolished and, eventually, an income tax was introduced. In the same way, as our current society moves towards a state of ‘human disconnection’, our tax system must move with it.
Nice. I am personally moving toward disconnection with imbecile clerks and corporate drones, we really need to throw them out.
I am sure they already working on oxygen tax (I remember Greta saying something on it) and unhealthy food (meat and such things) tax (EU and Mordor already discussed this in parlaments)

In reality on 98% of all Windows PC you have one of this drivers installed, almost all PCs you have multiple of them. Yellow here means that you can use feature indirectly via other available methods.

A new order of the French government to first close bookstores, then ban the sale of books in the departments of the entertainment network FNAC. Finally, the book sales departments in all retail chains were closed.
Further, from the forbidden - all toys (2 months before the New Year!), and cosmetics! Moreover, personal hygiene products remain. A separate mention was made for doing haircut at home, and all kinds of cosmetic procedures. They are strictly prohibited. Apparently, that is why the sale of cosmetics is prohibited - so that women do not go anywhere and there are no places where you can put yourself in order.
Amazon is expected to more than triple sales in France of all this product categories.
