    So you don’t actually know in other words. Helpful. You know jobs aren’t all interchangeable, right? They’re not going to be going from driving a bus to working on a farm for even remotely the same pay.

      Turns out you can drive a bus just about anywhere. My area has homes in the 100s and is hiring bus drivers right now. My friend’s husband is literally a bus driver - my kids’ bus driver, to be precise.

      My best friend, who can’t get a good job because he’s a felon, closed on a house this week for 160k.

      It’s weird and kind of strangely insulting that you think most people in the Midwest are fucking farmers. We aren’t.

        A city bus driver or a school bus driver? Because the latter get paid shit and as for the former, they don’t have those in small Indiana towns. So, try again. What job in a small Indiana town should they get? Name the job.

          gets paid shit

          can afford a home

          Weird.

          Also Cincinnati is like 15 miles away from where I live. They’re always hiring bus drivers.

          Just stop lying dude. You’re not from here. You think most Hoosiers are farmers for shits sake.

          Edit: Hoosiers are what people from Indiana call themselves btw

            I thought you said a small Indiana town. 15 miles from Cincinnati is a suburb, not a small Indiana town. So now you’re not even being consistent. If you want to talk about small Indiana towns with affordable homes, talk about Vermillion County or something. I’m sure you can find a cheap house there. A job not so much.

            By the way, who is paying their moving costs, you? And are you certain bus drivers get paid as much in Cincinnati as they are paid where OP lives? Can you assure them of that?

              I don’t live in Indiana and never pretended to. You did, so I pulled up Zillow listings to prove you wrong. I also didn’t mention small towns - I exclusively linked homes inside Indianapolis.

              My suburb outside Cinci has homes for 160k, which is drastically lower than 2/3 homes I’ve linked you. Move on in.

              They don’t need to be paid what OP is paid because A) OP doesn’t make much money and B) his house is worth vastly more than most homes here.

              You can stop trying to twist words and shit, too. Just admit you’re wrong. It’s good for you.

                Wait, so you’re saying in order to save money, they should move to a place with cheaper houses that pays less? Do you not see the problem there?

                  Oh I won’t, don’t worry. You’re lying and that’s the entire point of downvotes - disputing the value of false information.
