Name 1 thing that has improved for the average person

I understand this is tongue in cheek and I agree that everything is getting worst. I’ll still answer to your question even if not everyone can enjoy this: the normalization of remote work. Best thing that happened to me because of COVID. I’d even say it outweighs the permanent degradation of my sense of smell from the virus itself. It can’t be taken for granted though and many bosses are pushing back.

As someone who also went full-time remote during COVID, I tend to agree.

However, it's also felt like trading one cage for another. Except this cage has more yard time.
