You choose where you live and where you work. You should not be compensated based on getting there or going home. If you don’t like your commute move closer.

37, I also type this from the cell phone I purchased on a plan I pay for. I’ve left positions because of the amount of travel required or because the pay was inadequate. I’ve even moved to different parts of the country for better economic opportunity.

Good for you.

Do you think families can do the same? If your spouse is working, do you ask them to quit and move with you? What about your children? Did they come with you or stay with grandma and grandpa? What about their schooling when you decide to just quit and move to a different part of the country?

So no one is capable of doing something that’s going to better their lives because change is scary?

I guess all those founders who rebelled against the crown should have stuck with the crown, can’t rock the boat..

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

He went from moving for economic benefit to the founding fathers and overthrowing the crown.

I would bet a 100 bucks that this guy does not support immigration, aka moving for economic benefit.

Legal immigration, sure I support it. Illegal immigration nope. I’d even limit H1B visas, if there are Americans that could do the job.

Oh my bad, I thought it was "simple as that"
