Most commutes are under half an hour. Comfort over an 8 hour day will have a far greater impact on productivity than not sitting in a car for 25 minutes before you get to work.

Use to commute 2 hours each way. 1/6 of my day travelling to and from a soulless corporate hellhole, just to be a fucken cog.

I know a guy that still does that.

The average commute in the US is just under 27 minutes or so. So while those commutes do exist, they aren't typical.

I used to commute that for school and at least I got a lot of reading done. I feel your pain. But I can only do so much reading before losing my mind. Lol

Not in Houston.

I know it's hard to believe this but most of the US does exist outside of Texas.

No idea what you're talking about.

I've been in traffic in California and Florida, and it doesn't get much better.

There are still 47 other states. I know I know, it's hard to believe but most of the US is not in Texas California and Florida. Most people's commute is still about 27 minutes.
