This was so depressing to watch. Ronnie is amazing, I have no true words for his tenacity and determination to do whatever it takes to support his family.

Not many people would commute 4 hours to and from hell no one would accept him, I hope you get a car what a great man

This is what i call a real man. He is worth doing anything for. His wife is one lucky woman.

Ronny's a beast. Someone needs to sponsor that man.

That is one dedicated husband, father and worker! Men like him are few and far between.

hard working Americans! one doctor visits away from being bankrupt and homeless.

Ronny is such a good example of what a hard working man does for his family regardless of him being tired he does what he needs to do to provide them.

I have a lot of tremendous respect for this man. My commute is 2 hours to and from work and i think that is too long. His will power of getting up every morning is just amazing

I wish my dad was like this man.. I grew up living in poverty, unnecessarily. This man is the perfect example of an amazing human being. "I have responsibilities." He doesn't even get jealous the least bit... He's trying to make a better life for his children. That's how we all should think.

Hard working father and husband. Very encouraging.

The part about Mr. Ronny, bought me to tears. I know exactly how it is like not having your own personal transportation and to rely on public transportation. One day, I was scheduled to come to work when the weather was pouring down raining, but I was determined in mind and heart that I wasn't going to let nothing stop me from going to work. I too, also have responsibilities. I really hope and pray that he will be blessed with his own vehicle someday. God Bless him and his family.

This is Why young people are choosing not to have children anymore. The American Dream is Dead.

Now that's a man! What an example for his kids. That's real love.

Now THAT is HARD WORK and DEDICATION!!! everyone must take note of this and follow his inspiration. I hope things work out for him

That is so sad . I wish he could afford a car :-(

May the Divine bless that man traveling so far for the betterment of his family

Can't imagine doing that for 10 weeks, and this guy did it for 10 years?!

What a beast. Someone give this guy a medal. Or something

The struggle is real

Oh my. The country is changing and not for the better. That man is amazing though.

I only live 15mi away from my workplace and I spend 2 hours getting to work by bus every day. I feel so determined like this man...

Rule #1: knowledge is required. College is not.

I just came here because I'm also got stuck in same situation I have to travel 3 hours one side and 3 hours back,I'm impressed by seeing Mr Ronnie,he is the man who is doing this things just for his family,hope u get a car soon,may god bless u🙂

Ronnie Thomas, wish you'd had been my dad. You're a good man! Wish you and your family all the best.

Wow! Lord Bless Him with a Car!!

Ronny is what every man should strive to be. True inspiration and a family man. He's better than I could ever hope to be

How do these cities expect to keep functioning without people? Soon everywhere will be Detroit.

191,000 in 1970 would be worth close to 1 million dollars today... The wages aren’t keeping up with inflation that’s the problem!!!

Has anyone followed up on Ronnie and his family?

Yo, I walk 6.4 miles to work everyday to support mines. Cold, wind, rain, doesnt matter. I HAVE to. I'm lucky to get a ride home but at 2am I have to get up outta my sleep to make sure we all have a place to lay our head at night

God bless you my brother. I pray you get blessed soon. You deserve a break.

Strong person like this make american great.

its the same in the uk the cost of living goes up and wages and jobs stay the same

I need to start a go fund me page for this man, he is a strong person for doing all of the things that I wouldn't do (can anyone give me a rough estimate for a Prius,3 months money for gas, and all the expenses for a drivers license? )

You Go Ronny!!! I Hope Someone Will See This Video And Donate You A Car,God Bless And Keep Grinding For Your FAMILY. Blessings and Love

You didn't offer him a ride and just watched him bike.

I'll never complain again!

Give him a damn car!!!

Oprah would have given him a car.......Diane Sawyer

Uncle RonRon! ❤️❤️ That’s right we got to keep on keeping on !

mr ronnie ur incredible and u have a drive that I wish I had a fraction of may god bless u and ur family

God bless you sir for being so responsible ❤

Wow he is truly an amazing good example of what a true man is. Incredible 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

Blessings to him and his family

I cried watching this mans courage. Somebody please help this man.. I would’ve been quit, it’s just the truth, I don’t want drive 30 minutes for a job..

Ronnis you are an amazing man, father and husband. Your story inspire me. Godbless you

If you don't have kids, you're already ahead of the game financially, period!

Since the recession I have relocated twice and went to truck driving and trade school to improve my situation in the last 6 years. He is loading trucks I lived in Atlanta in the nineties when the economy was great I was able to go back to school an get a degree. Relocate there are many better places with better opportunities before you get to old Ronnie,

I feel so sorry for that woman with the daughter... It shouldn't be that way.

It takes him an 8 hour shift to get to work, then who knows how long he's at work for. Probably a 16 hour+ day for him.

Ronnie is such an admirable human. It will be worth it. It has to. He’s so determined and principled

That man staying fit af, just going to say that now

My friend did that to work in harrods ( most expensive shop in London) and walked 4 hours to work, her feet were covered in blisters it was so sad

Yea, something profound has changed. Politicians got involved in our personal lives. Manufacturing jobs have been moved to other countries due to lower wages and it just keeps getting worse.

The anesthesiologist can’t afford to live there either? lol stop

The problem is not zoning, the problem is the Politicians

Same thing in developing countries. Some of my subordinates had to leave at 3 am to be there at 7 am, they would be back home at 10 pm. All that for about the equivalent of US$ 400. And my boss would be mad at me for not being hard enough on them if they arrived late from time to time. Yep, there is something wrong, but everywhere.

Ronnie is a great man. We should start a gofundme or something to get him a reliable car.

May God bless Ronnie and his family.

Come to Toronto Canada and it's surrounding suburbs, that 4 bedroom home worth 360000 is easily 700 hundred plus.

This story was based in Northern California and this is the sad reality. The cost of rent in Burlingame and all around the Bay Area is insanely high. But people are willing to pay to live in the safe neighborhoods because now even the dangerous neighborhoods have gotten pricey because of the demand . The guy commuting by bike, train and bus everyday just needs to find a job near home, for the train and bus he is probably spending $20 a day to get to work and barely getting sleep it's not worth it .

A 4 room 1 level flat in Singapore costs minimum 300 to 400,000

I hope I win some money cuz I need to give something back to this man!! You're a giant amongst men Ronnie!!

God bless and keep him. They record these people, HELP THEM! leaving him with a car is nothing. How can WE help him get a car?????

I traveled this far for sea world when I worked there. Never again.

I can definitely relate I commute a 2 hour drive up & back each day.

That's a real man

So much respect for Ronnie!!!

I live outside of Seattle and have to travel 2+ hours each way everyday. It's pretty much the norm here.

Ronnie helped me go to work today.

This is not about the rich vs poor. This is completely about government regulations that make building homes expensive. Is not just the permitting process. This starts with cutting trees and manufacturing the pipes and all the parts needed to build a home. It is also about preparing land to build and all the tests and permits needed before a house can ever be built. Another reason that home prices are so high is the fact that many people buy cheap homes for rentals.

My question is...whats wrong with renting an apt?

Love this it shows the real America hard working people getting up doing what they have to survive all these government officials have to do something about this situation cutting health care and hours of people working full time to part time something must be done after all this is sopose to be the greatest country on earth

The problem is greedy rich people... no wonder why they get richer while other get poorer.

I will never tie myself into a house it's not worth the headache plus your quality of life is the real cost it sucks up all your energy minimalism is the best path

I’ve never had a job that offered good benefits. I’ve been in healthcare and currently work in healthcare. No insurance offered from my job.

My boss traveled 5 hours a day and he plowed snow before going to work

The people in this world is so greedy! They talk about other countries but the United States is so sad! We watch the rich get greedy and greedy! Watching the hungry get hungrier! Apartments going up so costly you can’t afford it! But some people don’t care! We need to re-evaluate our lives and help one another.

insanity, he needs to move his home closer to work or his work closer to home. time is more precious than money.

It’s worst in London !!

This is fucking sad. This guy deserves so much respect! I wish someone would help him out with a car

Does anyone know what happened to this guy? I know it was a few years ago but I want to help him out

i almost ni tears..dude he is a real man!!

Damn man, most of Ronnie's life is just traveling to work. Sucks to see that and know there's people with more money then they can count. The feels bruh.

Most people in Bangalore do. Can someone interview us as well 🤪🤪

rising house price? blame it to bankers, freddy Mac and fenny mae

RESPECT! SOMEONE NEEDS TO BUY HIM A CAR FR💯💯💯

God damn Ronny. Someone set up gofundme. Ronnie could be working two jobs if he didn’t have to do a 8 hr daily commute.

We buckled down. Didn't go on expensive vacations or over spend or buy a house at or over our budget. Paid our house off in 6 years. Money management folks!

Ronny if you have those hours of travel, Audio Books man I'll bet you can educate yourself during the hustle.

the intro is so nostalgic.

I want to donate money to that man what a great father

Whose been buying up the properties. We found it was anyone with pooled money, like new comers or visitors. It drove the prices sky high. We in Canada have put some restrictions on purchases.

Don't be that surprised on that, same thing in China near big city. Even with intercity high speed rail it is still a beast 200km commuting. And if the system is down it is virtually a terrible situation.

I drive approximately 32 miles one way to work. We have to to what we have to do to SURVIVE 💪🏽

This man must be a dark skinned mexican.

I'm confused though....how can you not afford a car and yet be willing to do an 80 mile commute to what is essentially a warehouse job..? I don't get it. Car=$1,000. Insurance=$150-300/month. Time saved driving honestly means he could pick up shifts at a different job.

My aunts house $15,000 - Broadmoor drive, San José, California.

Did I just listen to someone who complained about making 6 figures a year?

Lmao nah it's just New York. I lived there and moved out west and it's 100x cheaper out here. Can get a house for less than 250k twice the size of those houses
