  1. Fine with that but the original story had him walking 21 miles each way, each day.
    A million commenters called bullshit, then the reporter said it was 21 miles round trip walking.
    Bullshit was again called.
    The story then changed to “he rides the bus for seven miles each way”.
    It just goes to show that you can’t believe a goddamn thing written by a reporter anymore.

    His work ethic? That may be fine but how dumb do you have to be to spend 10 hours each day traveling to a 10/hr job?
