    Terrible infrastructure decisions combined with massive tank sized vehicles going 40 mph down side streets while many are stressed out working 2 jobs looking down at their smart phone to see if they’re going to be late. Surprised?

      And company policies that consider 1 minute late to be penalty-worthy. And long vast stretches of straight road. (“Design roads like barrels and people will drive like bullets.”)

      Longer and longer commutes…

      Unpredictable jams and construction…

      It’s all fundamentally designed in opposition to human well-being.

        I still remember when a coworker a while back came to work the first time an hour late because their alarm didn’t go off in the morning and they were freaking out. One of the reasons I left. I seriously hate that culture entirely.
