Pay people during their commutes, they “clock in” as soon as they get into their cars and “clock out” only when they get home.
- That rewards employees for living as far away from the office as possible. Is that a fair thing to do? I seriously don't know.
  
  you're right, let's scrap offices altogether and wfh 100%
  
  Something tells me there might be a middle ground here.
  
  Not rewards, incentivises, means the employer has a larger labor pool to pick from, which in capitalism is good.
  
  But isn't making commutes longer a bad thing? Especially for the planet? And this is encouraging it.
  
  Decent public transportation can offset this easily
  
  At which point they say, "if we're paying you to sit on the train, you can do some work while you're sitting there."
  
  Then hey, I can get some of my 8 hrs done on the train and only have to sit in the office for 6 hours! Sounds like a win-win to me.
  
  Capitalism in general is bad for the planet
