>>I’m not part of their talent pool. .. I know many people who think this way. And that number is growing.

you enjoy that freedom due to low unemployment, and stable(ish) economy currently.

Unfortunately the fundamentals of the economy are not sound right now, and very likely we will start seeing companies fold, and unemployment numbers go up.

It is very easy to have a hard stance on fully remote when you have 2 jobs for every employee on the market... if that flips I have a feeling peoples demands will change.
