Feeding the Robots
Gas-fucked
This is the current feeling regarding the non-stop rise of fuel price. Some say that taxes cant be reduced, but if fuel costs more doesn’t the government earn more money with it? Is my math incorrect?
Unfortunately I have to drive everyday, I’d be glad to take a bus like I did for so many years, but that would take me about 1.5+ hours instead of 30 minutes to commute to work.
This is a perfect excuse for companies to star allowing tele-working, unfortunately people in Portugal don’t seem to believe in that.
So let’s just continue to invest in the construction of Dubai!

The problem here has two faces: first, bosses seem to think it’s too complicated to work from home (OMG, setting up VPNs? THE HORROR!). And then there are the people that , unlike us, simply can’t organize themselves well work-wise and will simply iddle during most of the day and not reach the deadlines appropriately. Portuguese work-mentality is a bitch.
