When I lived in the city, I'd take the bus if I didn't have a car or it was unavailable. I'd do the same in this small town if there were any, but the local gov't doesn't want to put money into it. We need it badly. If you don't have a car or a ride, you are screwed! Espacially, when very hot/cold!

Robert Davidson

I live in NYC, which has an extensive public transportation system. I do not need a car and using public transportation is better for the environment.

I own a car

Cheryl Gafner

Ick.

Amie John-Baptiste

I drive 30-40 mins to work which would be a 2 hour commute one way if I took public transportation.

Brandy Kuykendall

I would if it was available. where I live in Austin Texas there is public transportation but it is a 30 minute drive to the nearest transit center and then most places take 2 or more hours transferring from bus to light rail to get to my destination. Or I can drive myself in about 45 minutes.

Tina Bouthillier

I own a car

Phyllis

I live in the county and no buses available. I drive a car now, but in 3 months will turn 80 and want to stop driving. I will sell my car and pay people to take me to appts and vets etc. I have groceries and pet supplies delivered.

There are no buses in the country. If I lived in a big city, maybe I would.

Shane Hill

Because i don't have to.

Valerie Lantz

I live in a rural area without public transportation available.

Theresa Scherf

It's not an option. I live out in the country ca. 5 miles from town.

Lori Johnson

Public transportation is not an option where I live.

rover6rover

Living in the country it's not an option. Sometimes ride the L in Chicago during family visits and we were on and off the subway in NYC last fall -- the only way to get around!

I enjoy watching celebrities and award shows!

Patricia Quiroz-Alfaro

I vote for my favorite actors and awards also give me an idea of what I want to watch. Other than that winners don't matter to me.

Jeanette Johnson

I agree with you except I have to say when Jamie Lee Curtis won best supporting actress OMG I went completely crazy that right there is what makes me watch awards shows AND now these damn huge studios what don't they get without a script an idea there's no films tv to be made forget reality

Haven't watched any of them in decades. Who wants to see some very rich celebrities pat each other on the back and tell us all their political views?

VAHuskerFan

Cause there all WOKE!!

Ed Drahos

Award shows are nothing more than self promotion of themselves. And act like self advertising. Like advertising, the less advertising the less popularity.

Garrett

The award shows once mattered. Since they have become so much more than a few once or twice a year but rather at least a 100, all with varying degrees of actual criteria beyond marketing campaigns and now the over-compensating “inclusive,” nature of certain categories going out of their way

Two Men & A Lady

Not in the least.

Anna Chaya Hoffman

Makes zero impact on my life

Jethro Born

The only awards shows that I ever watch are the CMAs in Nashville. The rest, which originate in California, aren't worth the powder to blow them up.

BarbJ

Not interested in celeb political views.

seaweed349

There are better things to do with my time.

Cheryl Gafner

Too polarizing now. 🙄

Tina Bouthillier

I used to at least over a decade or 2 ago but it is so political now, that I really don't care any more

Joyce Koch

To many commercials

Valerie Lantz

Not interested.

Well my uneducated self who is debt free, doesn't live outside my means, retired before 50 will be just fine regardless what happens. No you educated, debt ridden, living off the government's charity..... well you yourself are to blame. Be accountable for your life and actions.

Fred

When the debt finally becomes unsustainable ... which isn't that far off ... the solution historically is to monetize the debt, leading to hyperinflation. Read up on it ... you will not be immune.

Max

For workers it is sound. For those on welfare it could be a problem. Things are about to change.

Zaos Gonzolez

The "dollar" is not real. The economy is the labor the people provide.
