      Yes, for many it cannot. For many job shopping is a luxury.

        What they were implying with their statement was that your life was made to be this way by the decisions of dead capitalists who caused infrastructure and the way we live our lives to be this way so that they could make money

        Housing laws caused suburban sprawl which has been worsened, at least in the US, by utterly foolish parking minimum laws. Thats why you have a commute like this, because cars were forced on us instead of trains, biking, and walking.

          Original comment I replied to said “save the planet, ride a bicycle” and my reply related to that.

          I’d love a combination teleporter/blowjob machine but for now a shorter commute would be a treat

      True, but given the right government policy the provision of high quality, high speed, highly affordable public transport very much can be changed.
