      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.
