Marshfield is a bedroom community in Boston, and the amount of money spent on commuting each day is ridiculous. Nobody likes sitting in traffic trying to drive to work in Boston. What if you could take the Greenbush train from Scituate to Boston every day for free? It wouldn't cost you anything to get to work; all that money you're wasting by sitting in traffic could be spent on something else. Even if you don't take the free public transportation and instead drive to work, there'd be less traffic, which means you'd be saving money too by not spending as much on gas. This is a bold idea that progressives are talking about and working to make a reality.
Take a half hour out of your day to listen to two great progressives discuss ideas that can make our society better. Also, there's a quiz game at the end where Ed asks if the quote is from an oil executive or a movie villain.
