This is the sort of dump oversimplistic thing that makes me crazy.

I'd ask how the fast food workers or the city bus drivers or the school teachers or, well you get the idea. Only a small fraction of workers could ever realistically think about working from home.

In a similar vein, because people who write these things work a daytime job with weekends and holidays off, and so even though they themselves go out to eat or take airplanes or maybe get sick and go to a hospital, they think that those are trivial tiny minorities of employees. In reality, I'd guess that easily a quarter of the workforce does shift work, holidays and weekends, but rarely are the realities of those workers' lives noticed.
