Doesn’t the economic benefits of a longer commute time offset the costs of these depressive symptoms?

Which economic benefits are you alluding to?

lntl@lemmy.ml · edit-2 10 months ago

there are so many:

vehicle maintenance
vehicle replacement
fuel
road repair
healthcare
fast food

there are soo many ways that a long commute supports the economy. it could be selfish to not commute in a motor vehicle for less than an hour each way.

Those are no benefits but just examples for economically uneducated positions. Work is not an end in itself but just a tool. A broken window that is replaced by one miner, one glass producer and one craftsman has less value compared to an unbroken window and 3 persons with free time to create for example a new window.

Cars and car-centric lifestyles come with incredible economic cost.
