    “Disabled and low-income residents’ mobility is on the line.”

    And that’s what is wrong with Public Transportation in the US. No, not that disabled and low-income residnets can and do use it. That it is first of all seen as such, sold as such and in parts almost exclusively by those groups and only because they really have to in many cases.

    Financial obesity is neurotoxic, an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
