My nosebleed Taylor Swift concert tickets were cheaper than this, and I didn't miss a single scene of the show.

Beyoncé really thinks she's better than Taylor?

They've invested a lot of money in office real estate and hate that it's going to waste.

But see this makes no sense. The money invested is gone (or contractually tied up). Using it won't make it a good investment.

It's like if you bought a car and then moved somewhere where you're like 1 minute walking from work, the grocery store, the hair salon,.and the best restaurants, and you never travel otherwise. The money spent on the car is objectively wasted. Using your car unnecessarily to drive places you (a) wouldn't normally go to or (b) don't need a car to get to is not only pointless, but actually costs MORE MONEY because of gas and maintenance (or for a building, energy and cleaning).

Worst argument though. The building has already been paid for or has a lease. Using or not using it won't bring that money back. The only thing that can bring the money back is subleasing it. Even not using it saves some money (energy bills).

The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining...

There's a war in El Niño? What does that even mean? I thought El Niño was a weather thing, not a location.
