Some Asian countries have implemented 4 day work week and avoid using A/C.

Uber & Lyft drivers here are feeling the pinch, but Americans overall not as much.

Whatever you do, DO NOT DARE charge that EV we mandated, forced, cajoled you to purchase. If it gets too hot, do not turn on any air conditioners. Just strip naked and splash yourself with water. If it get too cold, do not turn on any heaters. Put on every piece of clothing you have and run in place.

Thank you for your attention to our insanity.

Or even better, live in one of our “15 minute cities”, and by the way don’t forget to sign up for one of our digital IDs. Life will be wonderful! Or else!

The only folks suited to WFH scenarios are already doing so, because their jobs are more make-work projects as opposed to actual productive jobs. Exceptions are real, but rare.

It’s pretty hard to operate heavy equipment, or build things, or fix devices unless you are able to travel to where the work actually is.

And good luck with anything medical that requires physical testing or interaction. Physical therapists can’t move your extremities through the internet, and your monitor can’t draw a blood sample...
