Car brain really is a thing. Here in the UK it seems to be considered a thing that if you can afford one, you have one.

I sold my car (my wife has and needs one to be fair) 4-5 yrs back. Tried to make an ebike work but it didn't fit my lifestyle so I bought an electric moped and it's handled everything I've thrown at it.

Traffic is no longer a thing so it saves me so much time not having to allow time for it, it's generally quicker/as quick as a car on all the trips I do, parking is easy and it's dirt cheap to run.

Not sure I'll ever buy a car again

I live in the UK and do this more so that I can sodding sprint out when summer decides to end 30 minutes after blazing sunshine and then it rains for 40 days and 40 nights

I had to execute a contract with a supplier in Mexico recently and they have a law (REPSE) that means you cannot engage a sub contractor when instead there's a reasonable argument that you could employ them instead.

It's to protect an empire being manipulated and not receive benefits. They really do look out for their employee rights which is great to see

Thank god, I thought I was a cretin as I didn't get thro a season of it

5 day is brutal, my friend in the city (London's finance sector) has this and it's therefore more restrictive than it ever was before covid.

He has something like a day a month where he can elect in advance to WFH for specific reasons.

It creates scenarios where a friend in the US drives 40 minutes just to swipe his card/ go have breakfast and then heads home again
