    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.
