A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich use public transportation.

Can we gut the billionaires instead?

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.

“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.

SF transit already been scaled back in some areas. they will word in it way to make seem like you support the funding , but actually its defunding it.

plus public transport is lacking for tech biotech campuses in the bayarea to begin with, you are expected to commute excessively by car only limiting peoples options for jobs. its usually horrendous in the morning if you trying to get to any of the bridges, like bay bridges.

When Judge Doom tried this shit he got run over with a steamroller and washed away with Dip.

Voters in the San Francisco Bay Area are split on a measure to rescue local transit. Disabled and low-income residents’ mobility is on the line.

Here’s the deal. Public transit in Bay Area got slammed hard during COVID and ran huge deficits. Raising fares is a regressive tax on people who can least afford it. But having good transit means fewer cars in traffic-logged roads. Plus, easy ways to get to popular venues like sports stadiums and San Francisco. It benefits everyone directly and indirectly.

A lot of people can’t afford to live in city cores like SF, Oakland, and San Jose. So public transit is the only way they can get to work from affordable, outlying suburbs. Local transport agencies have done a good job scaring the crap out of people, by announcing which stops and lines will have to be shut down if this proposition doesn’t pass. Entire cities will turn into unreachable islands if they shut down those lines.

Given all this, any sensible person would support this. But there are absolute, self-centered idiots out there who are opposed, because it will raise muh taxes.

Can’t believe this is even questionably close. If it doesn’t pass, I will not feel sorry one bit for those suburban voters crying that their property values just tanked and their commutes doubled.

Also, this has nothing to do with billionaires. Really wish MJ wouldn’t resort to this clickbaity shit.

We can fix this if public transit users start gutting Billionaire capitalists.

Be thankful for two hours in crushing, soil destroying traffic, Peons! It’s making your Job Creators more successful! They’re just better than you.
