Might be unpopular be politicians should actually be paid a lot. You want to attract actually skilled and capable people after all

But it should also be there only source of income, no speaking gigs, no stock trades, no side business

Kind of? Like you could call a child a “little bugger” and that would just be calling them annoying rather than an arse fucker

There are things in the world to legitimately be outraged about if you want to be outraged. You don’t need to force yourself to be angry at shit like this.

It 100% works though.

It’s just the point is actually to make the rich richer.

I’m literally going solely based on the information given to me and fundamental laws of physics. If you want to point out me what that I’ve said is wrong instead of getting angry with me I’ll be happy to listen :)

You’re the one coming across as some egotistical weirdo because you took such great issue with the tepid suggestion of not driving if gas is expensive.

Sorry, I generally expect commenters to have completed a secondary education.

So you said the commute would be an hour driver.

The time it takes to drive somewhere is the distance / the speed you’re traveling at.

So if you’re traveling at 100mph for one hour, then you would have traveled 100 miles.

So in order for the 100 mile commute to take just 1 hour like you said it would, you would need to be driving 100mph the entire time.

Then also, you think there’s zero in-between with a house in the middle of the downtown of a city and a house 5 towns over?

So you think a house in the far suburbs of the city costs the same as a house in the city centre?

You think you’re commuting in your car at an average speed of 100mph?

It would probably be over 2 hours in a car, not including any traffic.

Also yes there is??? What are you talking about?

Ok

Again, why get a new job 100 miles away in that case?

And if you have a reason to do so. Just don’t complain your commute takes you 3 hours.

Because there’s no in-between of living in the downtown of a city and living 100 miles away?

This is kind of a false dichotomy. It’s not like your only options are living downtown 2 mins walk from your office or living over 100 miles from your office.

100 miles is like working in Manhattan and living in Catskill. Which actually lines up pretty well with what OP said, Google says thats 3 hours by public transit and 12 hours by bike… But it’s also 2 hours 20 mins by car…

Why would you buy a house 100 miles away from your job in the first place? / Why would you get a job 100 miles away from where you live?

And if you did do that, then just don’t complain your commute is long? Like I’m not saying you’re not allowed to do that or it makes you a bad person or some shit, just don’t complain about how long your commute is.

I wouldn’t even if I was joking.

If you chose to live 100 miles away from where you work, you can’t really complain when you have a long commute.

Maybe you should live closer to where you work? A 12 hour bike ride is easily over 100 miles.

Pro tip, if gas is expensive, don’t drive.

I wanna be mad but that was fucking funny

Bros trying to claim the spray cheese and corn dog country has better food 💀

“British food bad” is probably the most overdone and lazy joke on the entire internet.

Every single person that parrots " they conquered the world for spices and then didn’t use any" is an actual NPC.

Elevator implies a thing that elevates, you can’t elevate something downwards
