Poor people? I'm poor. But I integrate my life. My work meshes with my home life. I would move my house or get a new job. Fighting traffic creates rage and environmental problems. It's stupid.
Wow. Do you seriously imagine that people who spend a huge portion of their life on a miserable commute have never considered the solutions of "move somewhere closer" or "get a new job closer to home"?
That makes it better? I'm sure Bernie Madoff thought about quitting his pyramid scheme. Everyone thinks about quitting smoking. It doesn't matter unless you actually do it. If you just think about it, you still get lung cancer.
Wow, you just keep digging deeper. Let me spell it out for you:
Most people make those choices because they don’t have better ones available. They would love to live closer to work, but it’s not viable for many reasons. I’m sure you consider them invalid or of less importance than whatever you prioritize in your life, but suggesting that the solution to other people’s problems is just to do something they can’t easily do is quite arrogant and out of touch.
It's either their destiny in a sadistic universe, or it's their own unresourcefulness in making bad decisions.
Making bad decisions over and over is a definition of stupidity.
If you continue to ignore obvious operations of the universe, you, yourself might fall into the stupid category, but at least you can give yourself prestige, thinking you're fight for someone, when really you are holding them back, like a consumptive mother, chaining her babies down, lest they fledge.
And your offense seems rooted in my calling out stupidity, as if the word does not deserve to exist, itself. It does exist, and you can't take away my right to describe what I see, you nincompoop.
Look man everyone has choices. You're the one making excuses. I think it's stupid to sit in a car all day. If someone can't think of more options, isn't that a definition of being stupid?
Oh yea, and if you don't think it's stupid, then I guess you are against what Elon Musk is doing. Because why would you want to avoid traffic, if traffic wasn't stupid? Idiot.
Is is called compassion when you round up thinking to actions? You give people credit for the attempt? No, that's cruel, because they get the reward without actually doing it, and it keeps them stuck.
