        Yeah, and you’re still paying your food subscription, electricity subscription, roof subscription, etc. And if you use public transportation you have to pay your train or bus subscription. That’s not the zinger everyone thinks it is.

          15mph max is a bit disappointing, I’d like to see 20-25 to at least compete with my legs, but I’m down for something like this.

          Honestly, at first glance I kind of laughed at this thing but the more I think about it, the more I want it. I have an e-scooter that I don’t use often(I end up using rentals more often than not) just because I have to store it in my basement but this would fit by my door no problem

      Not entirely - assuming you work in a building, aren’t the “return to office” mandates the same? The cubicle is just your particular pod out of a massive collection of them inside a larger metal shell.

        Can’t speak for others, but I don’t participate in the stereotypical mad rush from the suburbs to the city and vise-versa every day. My commute is about 7 minutes, provided I don’t feel like deliberately taking a detour to meander through the countryside on my motorcycle after work.

        Due to the nature of my work I do have to be in the office, though, to interact with… ugh… clients.
