I can argue that point.
Jury pool starts at 8:30 AM. I gotta be at work for 10 generally but Noon is fine. If I don't get picked the pool kicks me out at 11:30 AM and I then go to work.
Then I got picked to be on a jury. They PAID me and fed me. Showed up at 8AM and went home at 6PM four days straight and home at 9PM after deliberation on Friday. If that's not considered a commute by your standards, I'm glad you're not the boss around here.
There are 12 judges in the building and at least a hundred support staff. There is a cafe inside fully staffed, at least three sheriffs per court, assistants to the judge, stenographers, jury managers, and custodians. Not to mention prosecuting and defense attorneys all over the place. None of these folks other than the judges...MAYBE...could call riding a bike to the courthouse commuting? Insanity.
The point was just to trash talk against those less well off.
What on earth are you talking about? I re-read the thread and couldn't find one thing that could remotely be contrived into trash talking about anyone but ME by YOU.
