An idea to combat high gas prices. Encourage companies to allow their workers to Work From Home.
For those workers that can, they should be encouraged to work from home. This will lower the demand for gas which should result in lower prices for everyone.
There's no reason to force everyone to burn $5/gal of gas to commute to work just so they can sit in useless in-person meetings all of which can be done easier on a Zoom call.

I think that the outrage is largely manufactured by regressive, fascists who want to appeal to lonely isolated, young, White males who are mad the world is not exactly like it was 50 years ago.
