The man said, “Did you know leaving your house at a different time for work, by as little as five minutes, can change your entire day? There’s different classes of people that you run into on the freeway.”
He continued, “If I’m driving down the highway between 5 and 6 in the morning, you run into what I call like the bougie blue collar workers, right? These are the guys with the brand new Denali pickup trucks. And they’re doing 85 or 50. There’s no in-between.”
He added, “These are the guys that, you know, they get to work and they sit in the office all day. And they just, they feel important. You can sense this while you’re driving down the highway.”
