    Governments and companies don’t seem to acknowledge that driving less would be beneficial. If they did, there would be a greater push for work from home for jobs that can be done remotely.

    Climate change is so accepted that the general thought is “don’t buy a lakefront house in PEI or Nova Scotia.”

      push for work from home

      Work from home will never be accepted by bureaucrats. It immediately showed that employees can be happier while maintaining productivity, ‘hours of operation’ are irrelevant, and those HUGE buildings with astronomical rent are totally useless. All things that get under the skin of bottom feeding management and bureaucrats because it takes away their control over other people.

        Maybe the kiss-ass management. I either see the idiots touting the company line like its gospel or the ones who just want to get shit done as pissed off as everybody else. I’m sure there are those who abuse WFH, but they are driving all their talent away with these policies.

        The useless buildings are probably more to blame. Need them tax breaks to min/max their property investments by pushing the cost of transportation onto the labor class.
