Got rid of one car here. Mileage on it wasn't worth havin it around any more. I couldnt justify the upkeep of friggin emissions maintenance from sitting, and it was a gas hog. It wasn't a big concern but it all adds up. One less set of tags the state gets me for too.
Where I work, more people arent bothering to come in. They are "working from home". Bascially that means they are getting govt paychecks to plant plants, cut grass, run errands etc. and checking email every so often to say they are "working".
