I'm surprised he's appointing high paying jobs to new positions during hiring freeze and revoking remote work to cull employees and reduce head count...

Article covers Braun's intentions to reduce state employees by revoking remote work - my opinion.

Anyone have really good support for removing remote or hybrid work?

All I hear is rhetoric about productivity in person and collaboration, but too many studies say that's unnecessary.

Is this a veiled attempt to reduce headcount or is there actual legitimacy to removing remote work?

Could anyone explain this in a way that doesn't make me hate it?

The usual arguments I relate to are things like: we are taxed multiple times for vehicle ownership. Purchase, plates, mandatory insurance, gas tax, parking. Did I miss any?

Now I know there's plenty of people who would rather have robust public transportation, which would be nice, but I don't see that happening as a result of all this money I'm already paying.

People who make just enough or barely enough to afford to drive to work could now have to pay for the right to trade their precious time for money.

Insert tirade here about that.

I've heard view points regarding tolls:

recover costs to maintain interstate infrastructure used by commercial trucking to move the rolling warehouse of America around so Jeff Bitchboy can have a Venice wedding and I can have my materialistic lifestyle delivered to my door possibly the same day...sorry slipped into rant.

Should I be looking at this a different way before I exercise the almost non-existent power I have as a resident and voter, which is sending emails to my elected corrupt aristocrats and beg them to consider regular people, darn did it again.
