i think there will be gas available, but critical dependence on it will jack up the price beyond what many may be willing or able to pay.
if it were a normal country there would be a crash program for supporting transitions to remote work where possible and some major public investments in transportation/electrification infrastructure where remote work is not possible to try and soften the blow by shifting as much low hanging fruit from petroleum dependency. it would still be a total shit show, but the foundation for a transition would be there and maybe the underlying infrastructure of society (schools, hospitals, logistics) could be kept above water as things are reoriented.
but i am fairly sure there will be none of that and the decision makers are going to ride the dragon directly into the wall at top speed to ensure a crisis allowing the largest capital formations yo hoover up more critical assets for pennies on the dollar.
my girlfriend is still starving hardly able to eat with anxiety over her job “RETURNING TO OFFICE” despite NEVER BEING IN OFFICE which I feel should be patently illegal like, in and of itself
and all of that is happening WHILE THIS IS GOING ON with gas prices
FOR NO REASON
and I’m like so close to crashing the fuck out over this shit, like, how is this legal even under fascism, you’d think the government which has an interest in not running out of fucking gas would jump on shit like companies wanting workers to waste gas for literally no fucking reason whatsoever, what are they gonna do if they run out of gas to do fascism with
They’re going to chain people to pickup trucks and force them to pull them.
its ridiculous. i was hired into a fully remote job. was promised fully remote. the dumbass in charge decided that was all over… in the middle of winter. when you definitely want more cars on the road. the union has taken it to the labor board, the labor board ruled in the unions favor. the asshole in charge is dragging it out with constant emergency appeals to stay the board’s order to go back to remote and bargain. we should get a ruling this summer.
but its ludicrous. they don’t even have the space for all of us to be in office, people with obvious hardships (like living hours away) are allowed to be remote for a year. all our jobs involve working with remote partners so we’re just taking remote meetings all day stacked up in an old building with crazy environmental problems like asbestos and mold.
its like the bosses have lost all grip on reality. like all this was stupid dick measuring before Operation Imperial Implosion. now it’s recklessly depraved.

this just infuriates me. i was forced to commute for 2 hours daily because fucking boss wants to lord over us, but my job was literally about SSHing into remote servers. they even wanted me to work remote on weekends.
fuck these petty bourgeois motherfuckers with a cactus.
