Oh I meant 2 hours each way (or 4 hours per day) is an extra 2-3 hours on top of what most would view as a typical North American commute (ballparking at 30-60 minutes each way, or 1-2 hours total per day). The absolute level of craziness of 4 hours commuting daily is pretty high, but the incremental craziness on top of your typical commute is really what I meant here. :)
