Inflation here? gas/grocery prices just continue to climb

It would be nice if carpooling and public transportation were more widely available and culturally accepted.

I can't speak for everybody but carpooling is not possible for a lot of hourly people because of how often they're told that they're working over. If you're held over, and the others in the pool aren't, you don't have a ride home.
