Shift work, Part Time, Kids in Day Care home with Grandma...erratic jobs.

Buses and trains work on Profit Schedule...not the New Work force of the 21st Century. There's no way I could find a bus or train schedule where I live that could ever be profitable getting me to and from my Part Time with our own Business which is in another town away from me.

This is true of most Jobs in America today. The jobs are not on a Train or Bus Line but require long walks and when kids are involved the time for this and connecting with day care becomes an impossible challenge. The jobs today mostly involve long commutes to places that aren't on "lines" that can be profitable for cities to fund the schedules to take care of the temporary part time work that most of our workers have been downsized into.

I think that we on the Left forget that these days.. Just saying.
