Listen here.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Barry Diller says that New York is over. Nobody is coming back to New York, and working from home doesn\u2019t work, according to Barry Diller. He said businesses in New York have been destroyed. It ain\u2019t happening. Now, he\u2019s a New Yorker through and through. He may know. His opinion does carry some weight.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-366965\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-100120-diller.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-100120-diller.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-100120-diller-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-100120-diller-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>DILLER: We opened our offices actually Labor Day, we said, &#8220;Please come, if you can,&#8221; and truthfully no one comes. There\u2019s so much of the city idle, it is not sustainable. Drive anywhere, walk anywhere, and you see local destruction. We gotta get used to the risks. And we\u2019ve gotta take some risks &#8212; particularly people who are not vulnerable &#8212; and get back to full life. Work from home is not productive.

But here he is: &#8220;Working from home is not productive, full stop.&#8221; It doesn\u2019t work. They opened their offices on Labor Day, and nobody showed up.
