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
But.. but... our industwy??

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.
And ruin our mental and physical health doing so don't forget!!
