I think you might need to brush up on your reading comprehension, and maybe your empathy. You’re coming off a bit condescending her. e

Hahahaha I’d forgotten about that! Man, and people unironically call him a genius still.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

We used to have a thriving rail and trolley system in the US; in most major cities especially. The automakers destroyed it. When they were caught, they got a slap-on-the-wrist fine and the nation went with the automaker’s suggestion of building the highway system up.

So yes, there is a fundamental reason we can’t. It’s the auto makers and the politicians they own.

Actually, they sued themselves once too

Remember the whole thing with GameStop? Wall Street knows, but they definitely don’t care, as long as they can make a fast buck and get out.

The camera is equipped with special filters and sensors that simulate the vision of various species of animals, including birds, insects and sea creatures.

It allows us to reproduce the unique features of animal vision, such as the ability to see ultraviolet or polarized light.

The article says it can do it with 92% accuracy, which seems pretty good TBH.

You’d be surprised. Also, often the company name very prominently displayed on the return address is anything but subtle.

Freefall is still going strong, 3 panels a week. Since like 1998 or something. Never loses the humor either, unlike some comics that ditch humor once they develop dramatic plot.

What I was describing was something many people who are happy to work from home have said about their jobs. Others cite their terrible commute as the reason they love not having to go into the office.

If you don’t want to give up a part of your home to your job that’s totally fine. But don’t go around saying that everyone should do things your way. Many people are quite happy working from home, and cite having more time for their family and hobbies, and never having to deal with annoying meetings or commutes.

You can see many examples in the comments on this very post, as well as the sheer number of people quitting when their jobs tried to force them back into the office.

I’d say it depends on the job and the person. If it’s the sort of job that can be done remotely, and the office culture is such that people are constantly getting interrupted by people ‘just passing by’ and ‘oh one more quick question’, and/or dragged into hours-long meetings that could easily have been a quick email thread, then it’s not a stretch at all to see that WFH has improved their productivity.

Well, good news—Macy’s has brought them back.

So… your solution is to buy a house hundreds of miles away from their job?

The problem I run into is time. And sometimes location. My previous job, for instance, was far enough out that there was no bus service; I had to drive. My only other option was a 2-hour transit ride and then a half-hour bike ride, partly on gravel roads.

And my friend has a job that’s 15 minutes by car, or 45 minutes away by bus. Even worse, with recent construction messing with the trains, his commute has gone to 2 hours plus.

And this is in a city with a decently robust transit system.
