Why are you so angry bro, can’t we just talk without the anger.

I clearly stated that Manchester has incredible public transport, sure the train prices could be improved as they’re some of the most expensive in Europe, but it isn’t a case of poor infrastructure. It’s just the nature of having to take multiple modes of transport to get to work. Do you want us to build train stations in every shitty little town? What are the implications of that undertaking for the very few people that have a commute like mine.

Imma say if you live in the US then you’re in no position to lecture me about our infrastructure.

As for the job. No there wasn’t a more suitable job for me. I’m a new software developer and I had 60+ interviews with many companies in Manchester and several in London and none of them would hire me, due to the unorthodox method I entered the trade.

Also, no I will not relocate away from my family to spend three days in the office.

You have unrealistic expectations on someone who is vastly in the minority with commutes like this.

Do you shop on Amazon? As I don’t, I don’t support businesses like that. What’s the carbon footprint I’m saving here.

Do you purchase from fast food places like McDonalds? Because I don’t. I don’t support businesses like.

In fact I rarely buy new things and if I do I am supporting my local businesses, even if it means I am paying more.

Do you consume alcohol and all the carbon footprint that that entails? As I don’t.

I’m a simple guy. I drive to work and i rarely leave my home town outside of that. I walk everywhere, 3.6 million steps a year, and on weekends I walk around the woods and just chill out. My commute leaves me driving 12k miles a year and that’s my largest carbon footprint. I don’t go on airplanes, I don’t take taxis as I can go anywhere in Britain on train, heck I can go across Europe on train.
