And the clouds thicken... people continue to disrupt, to work, to put themselves at risk. Companies lose profits and go bankrupt... Just a small fraction of those who were prepared for the "future". I can't remember when and how many times I wrote about the fact that human labor should be excluded from business processes. Today, those who work remotely survive, while maintaining a minimum consumer audience and saving on fixed costs.
Why do you need a website if it sells well enough VK? Yes? I doubt that your page dramatically increased your conversion rate. The site - a kind of hypermarket with several floors, where in turn there are different counters that can keep the client and somehow lead him to the product.

Online is the best way to sell! And it's not only about goods, but also services, which is even more advantageous from one side. Lawyer, designer, beauty specialist or doctor... you can sell everything! You can sell very expensive!
Many businesses could quite easily switch to full-fledged remote working without losing, or rather even increasing profits, by using self-service terminals. The financial sector could issue loans, credits, cards and other goods in this way. Information technology in our country is not used and at 1%. To make a loan: you are in front of a terminal, where on the other side an employee working remotely sees you through a camera and on an interactive screen offers you to perform certain actions. Digital signature and online services... God! And even if such a terminal costs from 200,000, but the fixed costs for it are not 25,000 per month, but per year... maybe less.
No pity for anyone! Let it be an incentive and a push to progress! Natural selection not only of nature, but also of business. Alas, the gap of allowing monopolists to enter the market, who ate everything around them... mankind has been digging a hole for itself for a very long time.
