Driving home from work today really was a challenge. The normal intersection that I take to turn onto the arterial was severely over capacity, so I tried an alternate route, only to find it was worse. Then it was a game of back tracking, cutting through subdivisions, stopping for coffee, and cussing at Toyota Prius drivers for sitting in the middle of intersections because they was through on red. . . Then it dawned on me, a good 1/3 of these people could be sitting at home working on laptops. The 1.5 hours I spent in the car could have went into FREE work for my employer. I would happily work extra hours for free if telecommuting were an actual option.
Instead, our creative governments come up with multi-billion dollar "fixes" to help with congestion, talk about losing loose change. My simple and free solution takes pressure off of the road networks, reduces gas consumption, helps the environment, provides extra free labor, and best of all, I'd be more than happy to spend $100 a month on commodities instead of gas. I'd only imagine the economy would benefit from something like this. So how about it the Maverick and Mr. Change, why don't I see either of you promoting this in your campaign ads?
