imagine if employers had to pay for commute time. they'd figure out really fuckin fast how many jobs can be done remotely.
@sayyid_qishta Renting a hotel room for a business trip? Tax deductible. Renting a car for a business trip? Tax deductible. Are you a private contractor commuting to work? You're entitled to mileage fees. Literally only regular wage workers who live in normal houses and commute in normal cars are punished.
@sidereal @sayyid_qishta i suppose you're writing from the usa? In Germany, we have tax subsidies for people to get them commuting longer distances.
