Yeah, I’m judging. I’ve been a commuter, sometimes cross-country. Never had a crash pad. You make the big bucks now, you don’t need to live like a college kid.

Again, judging. Sorry not sorry.
A crashpad ensures an actual bed to sleep in when your commute flight cancels and all the hotels are booked because the nor’easter shut down the airport…I’m too old to be trying to sleep In the black leather inn and I sure as hell ain’t going to be that guy that throws a cot and inflatable sleep pad on the floor of the sleep room either.

A crash pad enables me to set up base to roll thunder in the months I choose to do so.

You do you and let the commuters handle their commute the way they best see fit.
