    What an insane mentality. Barring some pretty specific circumstances I fail to see how anyone would be forced to endure 2 hr commutes. Those people chose that shit.

      My husband is blue collar. He goes where things need to be fixed. Sometimes his commute is 15 minutes, but it’s often 2 hours, when you factor in distance and traffic. A lot of blue collar deals with this, and yeah. We choose that shit over being homeless. His tech field laid him and everyone else off a few years ago.

      The specific circumstance is your religious family indoctrinating you into thinking you have to have at least 6 children and then you have to move somewhere that you can afford that much space on one income. It’s extremely common in the US.
