I imagine it would probably suck at least as much being a supercomputer :D
If only there was a way to live in one place and work in another. It'd be like working remotely from home. Could even call it remote work. But naah, that doesn't make any sense. Let's polute the environment and spend outrageous amount of resources to fly across the country for no reason instead
I thought my commute was awful... this guy FLYs to work?... in a different state? what the hell, and stays in hotels?
I don't consider remote work always an option, but in his case, either remote, get a job in Ohio, or move to New York. That's just not reasonable, and kind of makes him seem like a douche.
Only way that should remotely be acceptable is if you are a traveling salesman, and even then, should be your home state, and maybe adjacent states that you drive around different areas over the course of a month or two.
But.. but... our industwy??

And ruin our mental and physical health doing so don't forget!!
I would think that the money spent on hotel rooms, airfare, and restaurants outstrips the difference in rent.
It did! Holiday seasons got in a way and pricing went through the roof. Late/cancelled flights also did not help, apparently.
All that on top of a miserable slog back and forth. It takes a real NYC mindset to think that would work.
He's a younglin. No family to keep him appreciating time.
I did it for a year between Portland, OR and Chicago. You can tell the real cities by not having to specify the state. ;)
I was in my mid to late 20s and really enjoyed doing it at the time, but I don't think I could do it again. 2 weeks there, 1 week home, 2 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, 1 week, back and forth back and forth.
Which other portland are you gonna be talking about boi
