Telecommuting would solve a lot of problems. But people and companies are
very slow to adopt it, and not all types of work can be done from a distance.
And when it is possible, companies tend to hire cheap labor abroad, rather
than local workforces.

Telecommuting sucks though. I've done it, and hate it. It means your
work life and home life are not separated, which causes all sorts of
problems. Also, there are many times when it's just better to speak
with colleagues in people, especially when you need to discuss or
explain something.

An interesting idea, but I can't see it ever catching on.

Not unless someone can find a more energy-dense method of storing electrical
power than lead batteries. When you have to spend two hours driving 80 km to
work, a car that needs a recharge after 50 km isn't going to do the job.

I only drive 5km to the effice. The battery of a typical electric car
with a 100Km range would last for one week.

Hint: nobody is forcing you to live 200km away from office.

I tried it and the only problem I found is that the access to the
company network is very slow, even if I have 3MBit/s DSL at home.

No one is going to walk anywhere AT ALL in Phoenix summer weather!

That's another problem with Phoenix. The city has long been popular with
retirees who don't often leave home, but for anyone who wants to be out
and
about most of the time, the summer weather is a killer (sometimes in a
literal
sense).

So in Delhi, where it's much hotter, people ride pedal cycles to commit
suicide?

Silly man.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

And the problem with this is what exactly?

Remember that Mixi has, how can I say, a _special_ relationship with
"hot" weather.

I don't understand.

You mean he doesn't like it?

Or he becomes even less sane when it's warm?

something I find hard to believe

Absolutely, and it colours many of his comments. For him, Paris may as
well be Delhi just before the monsoon's break.
