People who work from home all the time ‘cut emissions by 54%’ against those in office::Study in US shows one day a week of remote working cuts emissions by just 2% but two or four days lowers them by up to 29%

Commuting by car is really, really expensive – to the worker (in fuel, time, and stress), to the polity (in road maintenance, traffic collisions, etc.), and to the environment as well.
Most of the costs are borne directly by the worker without compensation. Although a worker is required to commute to work, commute time is not considered part of an hourly worker’s working hours, nor is it considered a tax-deductible business travel expense.
Now I pay for the electricity and my home office space and it is still significantly cheaper than just what I used to pay in gas. Screw going back in to the office.
The fraction of my electric and internet bill consumed by remote work is negligible.
But how can real estate companies make money off peasants if the peasants don’t suffer needlessly?

P.S. Sorry you can’t buy a house, but I’m not taking credit for that one.
I think we can blame our parenta for that (at least I do).
My dad criticised me for years over not buying. When I did, he did not believe how much my mortgage repayments are. I would have paid of his house in less than 2 years!

Considering the decimal place is off for most other mortgages I’ve ever seen as a genxer, you must have a great combo of massively high income and low housing cost, holy crap. Good on ya!

gee who would have thought people that don’t drive vehicles reduce emissions compared to people that drive vehicles
Theyh it is. Fuck back to office
Edit1: is that how you “spell” that? Doesn’t look ot feel right to me
Or in some countries, alleviate the pressure on an overloaded public transport system. Which in turn cuts emissions.
I fucking love the Thinkpad design.
Talked to a former coworker who goes into the office now a couple of times a week to sit in a shitty open office workspace to go on teams to ‘interact’ with his colleagues. It’s just fucking stupid. Also the company sells remote work enablement tools.
