I spent 2 hours and 18 minutes walking to this location.

What did you learn?

Here is what I learned.

You should move towards an objective without expecting help.

What happened?

Here is what happened.

I am moving to Dallas.

I have an objective to transport myself and two suitcases to Dallas with less than $50.

I requested help.

You cannot use a rideshare app (e.g., Uber, Lyft) to Dallas for less than $50.

A theory of capitalism asserts you can find a better price by riding on someone's commute.

I requested your commute.

I posted on Facebook in two local groups with a question, "Who commutes between Corsicana and Dallas often?"

58 people responded between these 2 posts. However, you cannot add a call-to-action to the posts without the post being blocked (e.g., "DM to receive money to take me on your commute").

I messaged every person who responded with a schedule.

[NAME], what times and locations and do you visit between Dallas and Corsicana on your commute (e.g., Monday 12 PM from address X to address Y)?

You can receive money to carpool me without changing your route.

One person ("The Commuter") responded.

I also contacted "part-time Uber drivers from Corsicana who have jobs in Dallas", but these people were not interested.

I moved in the other direction from my objective.

Here is a picture related to the following description.

The Commuter and I agreed

• to meet at the "Pilot Dealer" between 6:00 AM and 6:05 AM
• and The Commuter drives me to "UTSW in Dallas" (The Commuter's destination)
• for $25.

Here is my mistake.

I walked in the opposite direction from my objective (Dallas) because I considered help.

I started walking to "Stewart Toyota" at ~4 AM.

• I attempted to Uber to "Pilot Dealer", but it did not work because there aren't enough drivers.
• I was not on-track to be at Pilot Dealer by 6 AM.

I messaged The Commuter at 5:30 AM stating I would be at "[place near Stewart Toyota] at ~5:50 AM" and to tell me whether to turn back around.

The Commuter responded "I dont know where any of that is".

I responded at 5:55 AM with my location at or near "Stewart Toyota", which is 4 minutes from "Pilot Dealer", but still en route to the The Commuter's destination.

The Commuter saw the message at 5:55 AM.

The Commuter blocked me at 6:00 AM (i.e. the profile became unavaliable to me).

Where is your proof?

Here are pictures which show me on the road with 2 suitcases between 4:00 AM and 6:18 AM.

There are also posts (stories) on Instagram.
