I, unfortunately, take the subway a lot. It's not my preference, but it is my lot in life.

Even when America is not working that well, it still works better than other places.

To me the biggest waste of time is commuting. First, there is no place that is less than a two-hour commute from New York. You can be half a mile outside of the city limits; you're two hours away by car. I don't care how close they tell you it is. "Oh, it's only thirty miles." Thirty miles? At 8:30 in the morning, thirty miles outside New York, you might as well be starting out in Omaha.

Generally speaking, the poorer person summers where he winters.
