    Yep, and we could solve traffic and a lot of other problems as well as making things better for workers by making WFH standard. I remember around covid I could zip downtown no problem, now the roads are fucking parking lots. I have to spend hours a week doing the most dangerous activity at my own expense. I think it’s mostly because of old fashioned thinking that jobs should suck.

      More like enjoying something is a sin. Sexual pleasure? Straight to hell. Food pleasure? Straight to hell. Get enough sleep so you don’t feel like shit? Believe it or not, straight to hell. Enjoy your work? Turbo hell.

      at my own expense

      I reckon if companies were required to pay you for your commute (or, let’s say, a standardised one hour extra per day if being physically in the office is required, so as not to incentivise people living far from work), there’d be a lot more WFH.

        The busier it is the more likely there’s this one idiota who thinks their time is worth more than yours so they forget every rule in the book and almost run people over to get somewhere “faster”.

        Faster is in quotes because YOU ARE RACING TO THE NEXT RED LIGHT PAL every car you jumped over is gonna meet you there…
