    As a middle class kind of person. My boss still wants me to drive my gasoline powered vehicle an hour each way to get to an office so I can work on systems remotely.

    … Or at least, that’s what my old boss wanted me to do. I left that job, but there’s a lot of people in a situation where they can and should work from home and never even need a vehicle, yet, because of reasons, they have to get dressed and emit greenhouses gasses to satisfy some capitalists need to control and oversee everything you do to earn a living.

    Ridiculous and harmful. Not just to the environment, but to workers, financially and mentally. It’s completely unnecessary.

    If we want to get serious about this stuff, how about we reduce how much we need to rely on vehicles as a first fucking step. We’re pushing electric vehicles on everyone, and a large portion of the population doesn’t even really need a car, except to satisfy their bosses need to be in control.
