    this still smells of propaganda, like it’s woven through the whole thing. “The American worker is making peace with a longer ride”.
    and yet the very first example they provide is someone who works from home twice a week.

    I’ll tell you this: the commute is even better when you work from home. WFH means less carbon emissions, less time wasted in traffic, and less time literally putting your life at risk from vehicle collisions.

      As someone that loves going into an office, I wish they let people who didn’t stay at home.

      I miss the aspect of the pandemic where people were freer to stay home if they chose, and the roads were so much emptier. It’s better for people to work how they’d like to, it’s better for me trying not to spend an hour commuting, and it’s better for the Earth to have fewer people burning carbon twice a day.

      Hey! That sounds like pure communism! You go to work where the overseer can keep an eye on you and your productivity!
