    This is late stage capitalism. We all have bour long commutes and work 9 hour shifts. Half the day is dedicated to work at this point, and that is assuming you just get up and go straight to work. So if you want to watch some tv, make dinner, and spend time with your kids when you get home, you have to take that time from somewhere else, and the only place to take that is from time set aside for sleeping.

      That doesn’t mean it’s magically OK to be so irresponsible that you put others in danger.

        Correct. We need a better system that prevents these dangerous activities. You can punish the persin sharing rhw story all you want, but it wont change anything and other exhausted drivers will take their place.

          The problem wasn’t having a problem. The problem was “fixing” the problem by introducing more problems.
