I don't fully agree with parent poster, but the questions in your comments begged for some legitimate answers:

> What do you expect them to do with office buildings filled with conference rooms and thousand dollar conference room chairs?

Turn them into public housing, public spaces, publicly funded cafeterias, etc.

> Not to mention now you've put a 100,000 people out of work, probably more. I guess making them starve

Now with the excess in housing and all these public spaces and cafeterias, maybe it wont be as necessary for people to hang on to fulltime work.



> Now with the excess

Like, with just the corporate headquarters of Shell, you've somehow created an excess in housing?

> maybe it wont be as necessary for people to hang on to fulltime work.

... To the point that they won't have to work for a living?!
