    I object. Look at the CoVID-19 pandemic when most of us were at home staring at screens to talk to each other, receiving money from our governments not to work, gas prices were negative, we actually meaningfully paused the pollution of CO2 into our atmosphere for a very short time.

    Not that everything was peachy then but we could use some of the ideas we learned there for the good of us all.

      Yeah, my computer would definitely be wasting less energy than running a car for equivalent useful work.
