Itโ€™s deplorable.

Hard when the people running the institutions are all either actively engaged in the behavior or at least trying to ignore it to snuggle up for funding.

Isnโ€™t she defending the people refusing to let people out?

Why are they putting the guy from the Epstein files on their show?

I feel like most activists I have come across are not proponents of setting dumpster fires.

Chuck. Stop listening to Joe and Eileen on this and listen to your actual constituents who vote.

Reduce loading times and decrease passenger/driver conflicts.

The main benefit of free buses is to reduce loading times and allow all door boarding. In Miami the cost to collect fares on the Metromover was more than the farebox revenue. They made it free and it is very well used now.

The paid ferries are an incredible bargain. Probably best transportation in NYC (in the summer).

Driving in NYC is a hassle (as it should be). Even if you own a car, where parking is free, it is difficult to come by and takes a lot of time. Where it is paid, it is more than a transit fare.

Can we maybe have someone who wasnโ€™t having little getaways with Epstein on a tropical island?

Whose contract do you think the survey team are subs on.

I think Douthglesien analysis, usually, is that there is a solid measurable โ€œway people are, on an issueโ€ and they try to triangulate enough issues with enough demographics to win seats. That isnโ€™t how politics worksโ€”now, at least. Issues are manufactured; emergencies are made from whole cloth.

Boys donโ€™t have a subscription to the NYT?

Remember when Gary Hart lost the Democratic primary because he had had a consensual affair with an adult?

The right wing media bubble has pushed the idea that the most powerful people in the nationโ€”Christians, White Men, The President, Billionaireโ€”are all somehow the victims of a massive conspiracy by a hidden cabal of global elite which controls everything. That makes supporting Power actually defiant

Traffic engineers share the blame.

Or how traffic engineers can make streets that arenโ€™t designed like highways which encourage careless and fast driving.
