Re: connected services as a strategic imperative and a driver of future revenue
Mach: Yeah, ok, but it's not possible for most people that aren't retired.
cow: Nonsense, there are many jobs that can be done from a home office. The problem is people are trapped into a mindset that this is not possible, just look at yourself. Your answer here implies my suggestion is an impossible choice.
Mach: Just being really cold isn't an excuse a boss might accept.
cow: Thats precisely the problem ive been hinting at. People in America dont appreciate what free speech actually means, and in this case it means to demand better working conditions.
Mach : I'd be very leery of public transportation in bad weather. For starters, I'd not want to wait at a bus stop or open platform and secondly, I don't want to be caught out somewhere if they stop operating or are behind. At least with a car I have some options.
cow: In other words Americans dont actually have freedom. Too many Americans have been brainwashed into accepting any crap condtions that their boss demands of them. Your answers simple cant grasp the concept of trying or demanding something different.
mach: I'd also worry about perishables in my grocery bag thawing or getting warm. I'd also only be able to pick up the things I could carry for 1/2 mile from the bus stop to my house.
cow: Going to the shop for food isnt the same as commuting to work. Travelling 5d a week to work into a prerequisite to going to buy food. THey are separate activities.
You arent even trying ...
