I hate how they frame it as a “full work week lost”.
No, this was “time with family” lost, “time to better your health” lost, “time to focus on mental health” lost…
Also, being in a car for that long (instead of using a more active form of transportation), likely results in time lost off their lifespan, too.

Yeah as they say sitting for long periods physically doing nothing is similar to smoking for cardiovascular health.
…I shudder to think of the effects of being stuck in traffic while breathing in everybody else’s fumes.
