Reply to comment by IrrumaboMalum in Pennsylvania Senate passes bill to cut state gas tax by wildfireonvenus

Today I learned that the only jobs to be had are in Cranberry.

 
Living far away from your job is a choice.

No, it’s not.

It sounds like you’re either independently wealthy or a rich kid who doesn’t need to worry about balancing income to cost of living and, as such, can afford to live at a loss.

The rest of us can’t.

You're aware that downtown Pittsburgh is the second largest concentration of jobs in the state, with Oakland representing #3, right?
 
If you're driving out to Butler County from the city every day for a job, you are doing that by choice, not because there are no other options. You have chosen to take a job so far from where you live and you choose to drive 50 miles a day.

 
Building society around supporting the poor choices is a recipe for failure. As we can see with the current state of carcentric development, sprawl, pollution, etc.
 
People who choose to drive fifty miles a day when alternatives exist get zero sympathy from me when they complain about how expensive the life they've chosen is.

There are neighborhoods on public transit lines in the city with median house costs under $200K, "everyone who isn't commuting 50 miles a day like me must be rich" is a lie you tell yourself to feel better about your choices.

 
According to your post history, you own a lot of guns. Guns are expensive. If you bought fewer toys and lived within your means you wouldn't have to commute fifty miles a day.

Let's put a huge industrial construction facility that builds I&C systems right in the middle of Downtown. Sounds great.

You're an entitled self-important little pissant who thinks he is better than everyone else, and it is tiring. Must be nice living off of mommy and daddy for life while the rest of us have to work for a living.

Not all of us are lucky enough to be born with a silver spoon shoved up our asses.

Get bent kid. And get blocked.
