As gasoline prices are poised to rise, the large, rich companies of the Bay Area are calling people who have been working from home for 2 years now to fill the freeways with cars and commuter buses again. But this is not 2019! These companies do not care if they have to pay larger prices to bring people to the office but they do raise consumption and, therefore, the prices for the rest of us who don't have their large pockets. If they can work from home, they should continue to do so and save the gasoline.

Gasoline is a basic need of US citizens and should not become a luxury item!

Stop the large companies from bringing vehicles on the road for employees who can work from home. They have proven this is possible for two whole years! Stop driving prices up by increasing consumption!

Yes, Google, I know you can afford to pay anything for gasoline, but how about the rest of us?

Now more than ever before, telecommuting should become the norm for employees who do not need to be physically on the job. Save gasoline! Save fuel! This will help the American economy because smaller people will continue to be able to go to their job, deliver goods, and drive inflation lower.

Putting people back on the road will only increase price inflation as gasoline prices are incorporated into other prices.
