With ya on this one, but what kinds of problems would this cause for people who don't have another option to get to work? Un-doing this ridiculous culture of driving 40 minutes to work will take a lot time.
Still, I wholeheartedly agree on the concept. I'm curious as to how to fix the followup problems that will occur from fixing the primary problem.

- closeparen 7y agoThis helps, but it seems vanishingly unlikely that both spouses will always be able to find good jobs in the same neighborhood for as long as their kids are in school.

- kortilla 7y agoHonestly, a grotesque carbon tax of 300% on a barrel of oil would only put prices back to where they were before the Russia/Saudi dump. You’ll find that people will adapt quite quickly as the price ramps up (we can smear over a year if we need to). Carpooling, switching to electric, or just getting a closer job will all suddenly seem very feasible when the numbers are concrete.
- Ericson2314 7y agoDo that tax and make a dividend. Amen.
- basilgohar 7y agoI'm surprised no one brought up the idea more people will just telecommute and work remotely, as so many are now discovering they can.
- Noos 7y agoI'm sure plumbers, nursing home workers, retail employees, carpenters and skilled trades, factory workers, and more will telecommute. Do people not get that not everyone is a knowledge worker whose work is always done on a computer?
