“It’s not like I (or most anyone else) has to drive to work every day. We just do it because taking public transportation to work is such a hassle.”
I’d call public transportation more than ‘a hassle’. I don’t know about you but spending 4 hours a day to commute 20 miles in each direction is a pretty piss poor quality of life.
Do you have an extra 4 hours a day to get to and from work?
