‘I just couldn’t do that drive any more’: Woman left job due to three-hour commute on N7 - Sopuli

What makes this Not The Onion to me is how normalized this story is. How did things get to this point? Would she be happy with a job that only had a 2 1/2 hour commute each way!? Maybe, and that is what makes it existentially funny to me.

There are some supercommuters who travel long distances to work in Manhattan. I knew of some who live in Pennsylvania.

God damn. I just got back from a “vacation” in New York and I can’t even imagine it. Even traveling from uptown Manhattan to downtown Manhattan is already a longer commute than I would be willing to tolerate…

Knew quite a few ppl like that. They took the train/car into a city hours away and then stayed in hotel a few days then went home as for weekly routine. Its always the same reason family and affordability.
