The shortsightedness of this new breed of Republican ideology will haunt us for years to come.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funded NPR, PBS and hundreds of local radio and TV stations across the U.S. for more than a half-century, said on Monday that its board of directors had voted to dissolve the organization because Congress cut off its federal money.
Corporation for Public Broadcasting Votes to Shut Down
Executives debated whether to allow the corporation to lie dormant after federal funding ended last year, but decided against it.

The great insight in the corporate and government push for RTO is that most organizations don’t know how to measure productivity or impact of knowledge work. Even Google.
So productivity boils down to hours spent in an office building.
