There is a solution - start FINDING remote jobs. These companies will have to bend over backwards (I hate that term) to start offering high paying remote positions as their talent pool leaves looking for better options.
Chicken & egg problem: It's hard to find remote jobs if they're not being offered. We need to incentivize working from home (non-commuting) via tax governmental policy (local, state, federal level in the US). This is critical in order to cut greenhouse gasses and prevent traffic congestion without needing to build expensive new roads.
