No, they are signaling that, in a world that does not have limitless options and alternatives, this one option is at least marginally better than other available options. It doesn't mean the option is good, or even sustainable, just that it's not the worst one.

Anyone who suggests that a "best option" that involves commuting 3 hours every day is actually a good option is not someone I want in charge of public policy.
