I know our elections are bought and sold but this feels a little…. On the nose.

What’s ironic is that more foreign owned brands have production plants in the US than US brands at this point. Nissan Toyota and Honda all have US plants. GM Ford and Chrysler all have plants primarily in Canada and Mexico.

I’d argue they’re “less worse” but the fact remains that no one becomes a billionaire without exploitation. Bill Gates owned a monopoly and I’m honestly not sure what Mark Cuban did. At some point and time you must exploit a system and it’s people to amass that much wealth.

Curious how many people who downvoted my initial comment have ever worked in NYC and had to deal with either driving or taking public transit.

I know the point is to raise funds to improve it, but based on my city’s track record , they don’t ever divest it into things that make a difference in the public transit. Instead they do things like: embezzle (Adam’s is indicted btw) or add more cops, or change the turnstiles, but they don’t fix the issues with our systems.

They’re still filthy and run like ass and they JUST raised priced for the 3rd time in 5 years.

I actually support the idea of people driving less in cities and getting the cars out of manhattan for the most part, I just know how poorly this city is run currently and how badly this will go.

Congestion pricing only makes sense if they do something to mitigate the lack of public transit availability, punctuality, and affordability. If public transit were cheap and ubiquitous, then go right ahead.

Instead, busses and subways cost more and still smell like piss and now you get congestions pricing if you drive in.

I love the double standard. Trump can say “arrest all the radical left” and “LOCK HER UP” but if a democrat grows a backbone and says it back it’s “THEY’RE BEING MEAN!!! YOU CAN’T SAY THAT!”

Easy: they like money. The entire ideology behind Trump is “he’s rich and I can be rich like him too!” All the VC guys know they can manipulate him with very little money (for them) and get to keep/make more for themselves. He’s only a true friend to the wealthy.

I bought puts, but at this rate, the company will be bankrupt before the contract expires in January.

I never liked Adams. He always seemed like he was up to something.

Wait till they hear about GWAR.
