work from home means your company buys office furniture for the cubicle you never use and then also a decent chair and maybe even a standing desk for your home office.

it’s almost like the people running this poo poo care more about their class interests than selling two workstations for every worker :thunk:

So if you work in London is it possible to do the NYC thing where you live an hour outside of town and commute in on the train everyday?

It's funny that I know about locations in London and something about the history of the place but not very much about the actual physical geography. Wasn't sure if it was really spread out and sprawling like Houston or really dense like the East Coast megacities.

no uk cities have any sprawl in the true sense because planning law uses Green Belts to stop creeping urbanisation

nah london is sprawly as gently caress compared to truly dense cities, but the centre is quite dense

though to an extent that depends on what you count as "London"

e: most british cities are sprawly for that matter

it's the whole single family housing paradigm

Also, the underground/overground has a severe zoning system, so living out in the sticks often doesn't save as much as one would expect. A zone 1-9 monthly pass is over 400 pound a month.

it's expanded into the surrounding towns instead of being planned that way.

also the mass high density housing discussion always comes down to '"yeah high density housing would solve a bunch of housing availability problems as well as making stuff like mass transit systems more straightforward, but only for other people and not me because I need a sprawling suburban home and giant lawn garden just for me and my six cats. You wouldn't understand."

They all did huge obvious crimes with the PPE deals, giving public money to their pals in fraudulent contracts as people died by the thousand.

But that's the kind of thing any government will probably want to do again so they can't be punished for that coz we don't want to set a precedent.

but having an illegal party during a pandemic doesn't call into question the fundamental legitimacy of parliament and is pretty specific and avoidable (although both major parties did it it seems like) so you can probably use it to attack your political enemies.
But it seems like everyone did it so it's gonna be messy

Yeah it's incredible that the focus of people's anger at the Tories for their handling of the pandemic is mainly that they had parties when the rules said they couldn't.

It's the same thing as happened when the tories were found to have killed thousands and thousands of people with their austerity cuts for no reason, often at overall expense to the country.

It's such a brutal indictment that it can't be discussed in polite terms by the media so it isn't and anyone who brings it up is being overdramatic

It's not people's anger, it's the press. Because, as CT wrote, it's harmless to get people mad at this as opposed to anything that actually affects them.

The net zero commitment is basically sloganeering considering the accounting on both sides

For carbon free solutions you're often omitting the carbon cost of materials building the thing in the first place and then for carbon offsetting I was looking into that recently and it's very hard to find a single carbon offsetting scheme in the UK that doesn't fail the first 5 criteria for legitimately offsetting

theyr all just obsessed with planting trees (coz that's what people like the idea of) that they only give a poo poo about for 1/5th the time required to actually absorb the amount of carbon supposedly offset.
Plus even then you're emitting the carbon now and only offsetting it after 50 years

It is extremely funny that stuff like finance fraud, bookkeeping tricks and tax evasion schemes are so inherent in modern capitalism that they really believe they can defraud the loving atmosphere.

"We have swapped carbon credits between mars, the moon and earth fifteen times and licensed methane to jupiter, so actually we are at -1000 ppm :agesilaus:" while the house is burning down around you.

In my country heat pumps are considered carbon neutral because the law assumes that the electricity mix is 100% renewables. Spoiler alert, it is not.
