Work from home now! Enough is enough!
Gas is about to hit $2 a litre. Why the hell are we doing this still? Let people work from home already for god sake, this is beyond ridiculous.
It would reduce demand for gas, which would lower prices at the pump and grocery store, we'd have cleaner air, it's better for the environment, it gives people more money to spend in the economy, productivity is unaffected in most industries and, even when productivity is affected, the large scale economic benefits outweigh the downsides.
I realize I'm mostly preaching to the choir here but this is just plain stupid at this point. It's short-sighted and backwards. This needs to stop.
To get ahead of this, I'm in the trades, I can't work from home. This isn't about me, it's about the large scale impacts this has on our economy, our environment, and the mental health of workers.
What's it going to take at this point? Does gas need to get to $3 a litre?
