I suspect all large employers are being lent on by the banks and probably local governments, to prevent a real estate collapse.
I can guarantee 100% every CEO on the planet would love to offload the cost of providing office space to the employees themselves . No shadow of a doubt.
Yet as you observe, lots of CEOs are on this message now, that employees should come back to the office.
I’m open to other explanations, but that it is mine.

Recently, I’ve been using linux(tried multiple distros). I’m curious about how linux works, it’s architecture! Is there a book, guide, video, etc to learn about linux? By using linux, I get to know something. It would be better If I know how linux works!
I know it is a known Classic but i liked Animal Farm so much i had to share.

The whole scratch thing is extremely well put together and is easy to teach. Small chunks, fast results, forgiving environment. It gets kids thinking programmatically without even trying and for those that take to it, it is trivial to say “here are some code words, write this in code”
The only challenges are differences in ability which in a mixed class of 8-12 yo might be significant, so it would work best if you segment them into those that grasp it quickly and those that take a little longer (not necessarily age)
The hard bit with teaching kids anything in keeping them tuned in, and a segment approach can help.

Commando (released as Senjō no Ōkami in Japan, Wolf of the Battlefield) is a 1985 Capcom arcade shooter. Word to the wise: Commando isn’t based on the Schwarzenegger movie of the same name - that’s some false knowledge I’ve carried round with me for close to forty years… oh, how I’ve embarrassed myself at dinner...
This indeed made a pretty successful transition from the arcade to home. The gameplay didn’t necessarily rely on graphics. Multi directional, different attacks, decisions on who and when to engage. It wasn’t iconic, it fell a bit short, but it did do something’s really quite well.
