We're doing that thing where we blame the person and not the system that provokes these choices. Statistically, a significant number of people in the U.S. are living paycheck-to-paycheck. To them their life almost literally depends on making it to work. I am not saying it isn't stupid and dangerous. I am saying that being a few minutes late for safety shouldn't decide if you get to eat that week. It should, by any reasonable account, be requested to make up. Not placed on some arbitrary point system or lofted lazily over the person's head as a form of control.
If you are incarcerated you don't have to worry about the mortgage. Win-Win!
