i lived in my city for 7 years taking the bus and i eventually had to get a car because a few jobs wouldn't hire me because i didn't have "appropriate transportation"

anyway fast forward to being at the job for a while, the parking lot stretches on so long that it's a 10 minute walk to the office from where i usually park, them i figured it i can take the bus to the building door in 15 minutes

so moral of the story is i bought a car to get the job and continued taking the bus

Add some fascism and you have the US in a nutshell.

Oh, they weren’t concerned about your transportation, it was just a quiet attempt at getting information about you. You learn quite a bit about someone from their ride, or lack thereof.

Buying a toy car and taking the bus would've been cheaper.

unfortunately they actually wanted to see it so I waited till I saw it enough and then started taking the bus eventually I sold the car but only after I was sure they wouldn't be looking for it

What the hell, you didn't need a car for the job but they still discriminated against you?

it was an IT job that typically requires it but the position i got slotted in didn't. it's just antiquated hiring managers thinking that people without a car can't be trusted to show up for a shift

Meanwhile I teach on a campus that charges people working there $5 a day to park and it's too remote for busses so I just park off campus and hike a little. Ugh
