  Out here in Maine it’s pretty common to have to travel for work. All of the jobs are in or around Portland, but you can’t fucking afford to live where you work so many people have to live further north and travel south for work everyday. It’s the ideal environment for remote work, but fucking boomers run everything so they expect you in the office everyday.

    Work from home is the best. Apparently the office that I used to work in has been closed down and I’m not actually sure where in the town the new one is, so I couldn’t go into the office even if I wanted to.

      I’ve been working at my job for over a year now and I still haven’t seen the office. Working from home has its perks but most days I forget what a human face looks like.

  Yet another reason to decry our automobile based society. Working or schooling at anything more than a mile out is a ridiculous notion.

    This has less to do with the admittedly awful automobile-based society and more to do with the allocation of housing. High prices and low availability lead to people generally living randomly far away from their workplace. Soviet Union citizens for example accessed housing mostly through their labor union, and were allocated housing near their workplace so they could easily go walking or with public transit. It made cities very efficient with regards to commute, together with the division of urban areas into so-called “mikroraion” units, which established the concept of 15-minute neighborhoods already 70 years ago.

    Mine’s ~50 minutes each way, at least it’s on a bus so I can read or watch videos. Still sucks

  I have in theory 2 hours bike commute per way… Though I don’t go office that often
