The daily commute to work is reducing productivity and increasing levels of anger according to a new survey by IBM. Source CNN Money: As gasoline prices near $4 a gallon, daily commuters are experiencing more than just pain in their wallets, according to a new study. In fact, the daily drive causes a large number of commuters everything from increased stress and anger to sleep deprivation and loss of productivity at work, according to IBM Corp.'s (IBM, Fortune 500) Institute for Electronic Government commuter pain survey, released Friday. Nearly half (45%) of the 4,091 respondents polled in 10 major metropolitan areas said that traffic congestion increased their stress levels. Another 28% said it heightened their feelings of anger. Almost one in five said commuting problems cut down on their productivity at work and in school and a full 12% said they were sleep deprived. Click here to contact your Representative in Congress.

There used to be good articles here. Now nothing seems to extend beyond two or three paragraphs of two or three sentences each. Have you decided that Americans are just too stupid to understand anything longer than a sound bite?
Well, maybe. But in that case, there is no point to such a site. You cannot compete in the "sound bite" arena. You need to go back to solid reporting. |
Now these same fools compete on the hwy daily. Your article describes people that share the common trait of foolish decisions coupled with selfish disregard for others.
It's great to see that they are enjoying themselves.
