It’s costly, a major time suck, and mentally draining. Without commutes, people have been able to pursue their hobbies and spend more time with loved ones.
Many workers don't just regard commuting as a waste of money. They also see it as a "complete waste of time" too, according to Mark Dixon, the CEO of the flexible-office company International Working Group. "They don't want to do it," he told CNBC in March.
In 2019 the average journey took 27.6 minutes,according to the US Census Bureau, while almost 10% spent at least an hour traveling.

Today is something of a curtain raiser for the U.S. National Parks system, ushering in its busiest season.
Last year, nearly 312 million people visited the parks, hiking across the Grand Canyon, posting Instagram stories from Joshua Tree and waiting for Old Faithful by Yellowstone’s rainbow pools. (Reminder: Don’t touch the bison calves!) On Memorial Day last year, so many people headed to the sites that many of their parking lots were full by midmorning.
At Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, home to 50-million-year-old rock formations, park rangers start clearing the way for visitors weeks ahead of the busy season. They restore dozens of miles of trails — removing debris and navigating steep cliffs on foot before the snow even melts, as my colleague Linda Qiu reported in a story with photos by Erin Schaff. Similar preparation plays out at the system’s parks around the country.

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has vexed his Western allies while tightening his grip on power over 20 years as the country’s paramount politician, won re-election on Sunday, according to election officials.
Mr. Erdogan overcame fierce competition from a newly unified political opposition and widespread anger among voters over the country’s skyrocketing cost of living to secure another five-year term.
First onshore O&G lease sale since June nets $78M+

The Bureau of Land Management generated more than $78 million from the sale of oil and natural gas drilling rights on 45 parcels across 10,123 acres in New Mexico and Kansas, marking the first onshore oil and gas auction in nearly a year. "While today's sale is a step in the right direction, it does not rewrite the administration's record of delaying and canceling quarterly lease sales, reducing acreage available for lease and disincentivizing the development of US natural resources," said the American Petroleum Institute Vice President of Upstream Policy Holly Hopkins after Thursday's sale.
