Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home.

Not sure how your takeaway from that was “just choose a better job” unless you’re digging for something to be upset about.
I am advocating for employers offering salaries that can cover workers’ essential needs, including their own individual transportation needs, rather than reimbursing only people whose jobs have the possibility of being done remotely, OR having reimbursement available to everyone. That, and the more affordable option of public transportation becoming more accessible.

It’s because you opened with “Accepting an onsite job […] places the responsibility on you to be able to commute there”, as if people are choosing this when there are other options. This “responsibility” is foisted onto people by management that demands it, and a society that demands most people labor or die. Saying “you accepted this under duress, now accept the consequences” is crap.
The rest of your point about reliable transportation and fair wages is fine.
