It All Makes Sense...?
I was walking to the office the other morning and happened to look up and see the window washers preparing to clean the building windows. Of course that triggered a chain of thought that went something like this-
We build highways and train lines to carry the daily crush of office workers...
Most people travel for an hour or more to get to their office...
We build expensive, multi-story buildings for them to work in...
We build vertically because land is scarce and expensive...
We equip the buildings with elevators to carry the employees...
We surround the buildings with mirrored glass so other people can't see in...
We add external elevators and pay people to risk their lives cleaning the glass...
We arrange our desks facing away from the windows...
And, we think all of this makes perfect sense.
