What does this have to do with Europe?

congrats americans. All the fears of fuel rationing under socialism are coming true under capitalism!

Sure. First, they tell us to go live in the boonies since we cannot afford to rent or buy a flat in the city we work in. Now though I can’t afford to commute to the city I work in since public transportation has been gutted for the past 20 years. I could work from home obviously but the company firmly believes that cramming people in the same building has some value. Management of course can work from their home as much as they want. But sure, let’s drive less.

And do what, exactly, when I can’t afford to live in the city I work in? Should I take one of many nonexistent reliable public transit options?

This time, he might be correct.
