text: As I have repeated many times in many ways over many years, the State DOT launched a "tele-commuting" pilot project more than 30 years ago, and believe the first telework site was located at the Mililani Tech Park.  I have since made modest, but not exhaustive, attempts to find out what the results of the project were, and if at least an analysis and findings were published.  But it may not matter in the sense that formal tele-commuting did not expand as a government-supported effort.  
  
  My point it this: I think almost everyone would agree that at least most desk jobs in urban Honolulu could have been performed from suburban work sites and/or employees' homes as long as 30 years ago, and even more types of current and future "work" could be done without the time, expense, and aggravation of a daily commute to and from town--along with all of the other lemmings who continue to subject themselves to the same daily ritual of self-abuse.--con't below
