Detroit Worker’s Commute Is 21 Miles–By Foot

Posted by | February 2, 2015 10:00 | Filed under: Planet Top Stories


James Robertson combines public transportation and footwork where there is no transportation available.

…the many miles have their benefits: He loves his coworkers, and his boss’ wife cooks him dinner every night. “She takes care of James. And he’s a personal favorite of the owners because of his attendance record,” says the plant manager at Schain Mold & Engineering. That record is perfect. “I set our attendance standard by this man,” the manager says. And this story has a happy ending. Now that Robertson’s story is known, people are coming to his aid. Yesterday’s front-page Free Press story spurred a number of crowdfunding efforts, which as of last night had brought in more than $30,000, the paper reports. Others offered him rides. Robertson’s reaction when the paper told him: “Are you serious?”

    God bless this man, he is a beacon of light for everyone. No crying the blues and demanding the government give him a car or provide some other means of transportation – he has taken the bull by the horns and does what he has to do to survive.

      “demanding the government give him a car ”
      Would you please post a link to the Government program that gives people like Mr. Robertson a car? I’m sure the program is just like the Obama-phone eh?

        You libs demand everything else, the possibility of wanting a car is not out of the bounds of reality. Already on the list are such things as free healthcare, housing, food, etc. Hell, ICE is giving hormone therapy to incarcerated transgenders here illegally. It never ends with you folks.

          I know!!!

          All that free stuff should go where it belongs; to the billionaires so that it can trickle down and thus make peons of us all.

          Very little of the stuff you mention is free for the recipients, (except for the disabled).

          Most free stuff goes to the top in the form of tax increment financing, cost plus contracts, carried interest, deferred compensation, subsidies and property tax abatements and grants of public money to private businesses.

          So in other words there is no such program that would give this man a free car. You simply made it up.
          Oh who the hell am I kidding, you’re not resourceful enough to make it up. I’ll consider your source, and reset my bullsh*t meter for the next time you drift in here and regurgitate an out right lie.
