    The Covid effect.

    Let’s be honest, do you really care what the goal is? He didn’t come on here as a friend to say anything supportive or constructive. You came on here to badger me. Let’s keep it simple and what it is you chose to come in here and give me a hard time and break my balls. Let’s stop pretending like...

    The Covid effect.

    Correct, shore traffic is Memorial Day to Labor Day. You chose to come on this thread and try and poke at me. I am plenty thick skinned. I'm all for promoting products if you get a discount on them. I just said it was hypocritical a bit as you used to mock others and hate on them forgoing the...

    The Covid effect.

    They all count. I don't do politics but the "lesser of two evils" is BS. If you are done ignoring the obvious this chart shows where the markets were going when covid hit. Instead, we printed the next 3 generations into debt with $6 trillion dollars and made the current middle class feel like...

    The Covid effect.

    I am staying closer to work now to stay away from shore traffic. Total commute including to and from Md is now about 10.5. Ideal? No, much better? Yes. Part of the reason as I mentioned before is I was over my previous job because of a shitty boss. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do and I always...

    The Covid effect.

    Sure. If you sugar coat it and don’t account for summer shore traffic. Was your commute always like that? No. I mean honestly you had a perfect commute 2 years ago but you moved further away to better your quality of life. You sit here and reply like you’re a saint , watering his brown grass...

    The Covid effect.

    Well you flunked that one. I guess you don’t get that this is temporary for me. Currently I do not see my family 3 days of the week. It could be worse. I could have a family and be on tour in Afganistan. Or I could be a corporate employee and have to fly to another city each week and be away...

    Does going to welding school make you a good welder?

    The Covid effect.

    That’s my total weekly commute . This includes my commute in NJ. I’m sure the bulk of people working in NJ travel 10-15 hours for work.

    I love you buddy, this is not personal. Being a regional banker also does not make you a professional in finance. This may sound silly. Just remember. There was a French national banker that lost $7 billion in a week. he was a financial professional as well. I will agree to buy the fucking dip...

    The Covid effect.

    I do agree that the cup is half full. I do agree that the cup is half full. I’m trying to fill it up by working in NJ. Now take a piece of Humble Pie and realize that this would not be the greatest metropolitan area/city in the world. If we did not print $6 trillion at the beginning of Covid...

    That’s a big water bi ll I don’t want to pay in NJ. Hypocritical is the guy that bitches and complains during his entire commute about all the assholes in New Jersey. And then saying the grass is just as green here if it was, you wouldn’t be looking to move to Roanoke or somewhere else in Virginia.

    The Covid effect.

    Well, it’s temporary. I’ve already admitted that this is not easy for me and maybe not even the right thing. I’m not trying to compare what someone does by moving away to myself. What I’m saying is what Johnny Utah did is the same thing that I did. I assume that fortunately for him he’s in a...

    The Covid effect.

    Maybe this thread went in the wrong direction. Not looking to hate on where people choose to live. It obviously came out that way. My biggest regret was not moving away sooner. I think the point of my post in general was that NJ is way overpopulated. That's the simple of it. Johnny Utah moved...

    The Covid effect.

    I really do not believe that I have started that many topics as johnny utah says. Have there been many many people who have replied, making them very long threads? Absolutely if people don’t like them there is the ignore button, but I take it for every person that replies they have an interest...

    The Covid effect.

    Like I said, people can be happy here. It’s also a different conversation if you work from home or close to home but if you do any commute in New Jersey, it pretty much sucks. I grew up in New Jersey, road dirt bikes in my backyard and all over New Jersey, did the whole thing for years on end...

    The Covid effect.

    The honest truth is that I enjoy all of my friends and family in NJ. You could pay me 1 million bucks to move back here but my current compensation is less than 1/3 of what it would require for me to move my family back. I enjoy the diversity of mountain bike trails in New Jersey. I enjoy some...

    Exactly, like living in the mtbnj forums and bitching about everyhing Dave Taylor says every time you can since 2015. We’re obviously of the same highly regarded nature.

    The Covid effect.

    Just a rambling man. Basically I was making a statement to how congested NJ because since Covid. I should have been more specific and said that NYC just decided to buy every piece of real estate up 15 miles west of Manhattan on the east coast of NJ. Sure people have been leaving NJ for a while...
