That in order to commute for 50 minutes a day you're going to have to have an employer who is wonderful enough to provide you a place to plug in your car, so you can get home? Is absolutely ridiculous.

No, no, no. Your employer doesn't have to be wonderful enough.
He only has to be federally mandated.

"No, no, no. Your employer doesn't have to be wonderful enough."

"He only has to be federally mandated."

What Chu and the rest of Zero's minions don't grok -- or maybe they DO -- is that the Federal mandates only mandate that employers move any jobs they can possibly move to China, India and even lower cost countries if they want to remain profitable and avoid the fate of GM and Chrysler.

The goal, I suppose, must be to have the US populated by the-long term unemployed, Starbucks baristas @ $8.70/hr and PhDs in molecular biology.

The premise is “wrong” -

you’re not going to “commute 50 minutes a day”.

You’re going to live in a “sustainable community” where you can walk to work. And making it impossible for you to commute is how we’re going to accomplish this goal.

Wait until you drive to work and discover on arrival that overnight all the charging stations have been vandalized for the copper and you have no way to charge to get home.

I noticed at my new job on the top level of the parking garage there was an electric car plugged in. I thought to myself, "HEY! When are they going to put in a gas pump so I can get me a FREE fill up of gas since this clown is getting a free (to him) charge up?"

Well....since I am a noob here I don't think it's a good idea to push it at this point. It is a VERY liberal organization that, now that I'm here, I realize it was a huge mistake and am currently looking at "moving on" for a variety of reasons.... oh well, live and learn.
