        Yep all those countless hours of travel, gallons of gas, car repairs, transit fares, etc we’ve been covering out of pocket our whole working lives has been a free subsidy to commercial real estate companies.

          It really is absurd.

          I’m returning to the job market, and I’m honestly thinking of getting a shitty job within cycling distance, rather than be forced into commuting again.

          I honestly don’t know how much more they’d have to offer me, just to force me back in my car. It certainly won’t be nothing or vague promises.

        I have very real examples of this being the case where I am. There’s a lot of real estate that if it falls in value it materially impacts the exec leadership. No wonder they are so keen to save Pret.

      People who have investments in:
      • corporate real estate and companies like Blackrock, Concord Pacific and Amazon who easily own tens of billions of dollars of corporate real estate.
      • downtown coffee shops that exist to ripoff serve otherwise stranded office workers.
      • car and oil companies because all that rush hour traffic makes them money.
      • road construction companies since rush hour traffic jams means easy bribing governments into paying billions for complex and frequently experimental road enhancements.
