My feeling is that most jobs can't be done remotely and the vast majority are done more efficiently in person. We're in our small tech bubble in which people sit down all day in front of a screen and mostly interact through text, the vast majority of jobs aren't like that.
Look at the top US employers worlwide (or the largest sectors of employment [0]), there is no way UPS, walmart, fedex, starbucks, &c. can work with remote employees. [1]
There is some truth to what you're saying -- medical professionals need to examine in person, retail employees need to be at the store, package delivery can't yet be completely automated.
If you had said there was no way those employers can work with all their employees being remote, that would be true.
However, all office work could potentially be remote with little or no technical advancement from where we are now. When I look around the city I'm in (Boston) I see a lot of office buildings. I think the potential reduction in commuting is huge.
You mention your feeling that the vast majority of jobs are done more efficiently in person. Do you still feel the same way when you factor in the unproductive hours spent behind a steering wheel daily?
I strongly disagree. Reducing warming to <=2C will take drastic government regulations. It's never going to happen. This isn't something that can be done by recycling campaigns or "work remote!" slogans.
The ineffectiveness of slogans is irrelevant. If you want to prove my statement wrong, point to a viable political party with a plan that drastically reduces commuting. Then I'll agree that all other political parties are obstacles.
