Oh boy, I can't even get spyder to move between two of my monitors because it always complains about scaling and then I can't get the popup to consistently not show up
I think there is times where comparing the ratio of economic stock vs. flow, i.e capital to wealth ratios, but yah the billionaire wealth to GDP comparisons just seem silly.
I get what they're trying to say, but it is the weakest way to argue their point.
Tangentially, when COVID-19 forced my company to go work from home it thrust in to my face all the things that about that company that made me hate my job and gave me anxiety attacks.
I ultimately quit that job with nothing lined up and found a much more fulfilling job, with better pay. I don't think I would have quit that last job if it wasn't for the disruption, and I would have still been miserable.
From a company perspective I think this is a horrible idea, I don't want to push all my customers together so that they can all complain in the same place.
> Or a bike, which is a thing, that people ride to and from work, even in "rural" areas. No gas and no insurance, even for an electric one (and those have come down quite a bit in price, to the point where the only cheaper cars are absolute beaters).
> Even "rural" cities/towns often have buses, too. They don't always have the most exhaustive coverage, but bikes can make up for that for the "last mile" of each way's commute (especially if the bus has a bike rack on it, which is becoming increasingly common for exactly this reason and because it's relatively cheap compared to the cost of the bus itself).
Bikes are not a viable commuting option in most of America, you cannot transport groceries or children effectively on a bike. This is the strawiest of straw men arguments.
