environmental impact of mobility

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Assuming all workers can equally benefit (white-collar knowledge work yes; manufacturing/service work no) without acknowledging inequality
Listing advantages without discussing disadvantages (uprooting social bonds, inequality between mobile and immobile workers, environmental cost)
Treating 'advantages outweigh disadvantages' as purely quantitative without discussing who bears costs vs who reaps benefits
