Reply to comment by Solid-Discussion-708 in If you build more public transit, they will come back by psychothumbs
It’s way more dangerous and inefficient to travel by car in a city.
If you want that kind of lifestyle, there are several options in the US outside NYC.

Remember when Romney yelled at him at the state of the union? He wasn't telling Santos "shame on you, resign you fraudster." He was saying that Santos should've sat in the back (and thus not helping the GOP look good)

Personal attacks for peacefully expressing an opinion? Real tolerant and mature of you. I’ll pray for you.

>... raising someone of high moral values
He has no morals and lies about practically everything. How you can think that's moral is beyond me.

Do you think this has never happened before, in America or other countries? In Germany, after WW2 there were former Nazis allowed back into the government.
>German President Walter Scheel and Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger were both former members of the Nazi Party.

He’s not looking too good these days. All the stress is getting to him I presume.

The public will not come back to mass transit given a choice of arriving to their destination uninjured and still alive by another means of transportation. Just the same as they are now leaving NYC for somewhere else that offers them, and their families, more safety in their lives. This city has made this error in judgement before. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Cuomo was the main culprit but I feel like the board isn’t really much better and is filled with political appointees who don’t have much interest in transit improvements.

I don't even think him not resigning is the worst part of this.
If I have no ethics I wouldn't resign either. Six figure income guaranteed for two years. Don't really need to actually work. Benefits. Privileged access. Networking. Shield from the law. Why would anyone resign?
Everyday Santos remains in office is a day the GOP approves of his actions. Until they decide this is a step too far, it will be just another thing they don't mind as long as it's a Republican doing it.
And I can't think of a greater symbol of a broken nation than 1/2 of its government holding this position.

.. This is nyc, if you live here long enough you will see hate crimes being committed. I've seen guys use racial slurs against asian or hispanic store clerks or vendors and then destroy some things in their store or display or physically threaten them. You can guess what they all had in common
This doesn't even take into account all the terrible racist things that happen in nyc schools I've seen growing up.
No one is asking you to do anything, it's not like you have the power to. But don't pretend that the conversation you guys are having on racism in this country is honest, it's not. One side hates black people and the other side refuses to acknowledge that black people are probably the most racist group of people in the country.

You’d be cool if it was your parents’ or your checks that were stolen and used by an immigrant? Sure, bud.

In case you missed it from u/representativeage444: “Desantis is backed by dozens of billionaires. That’s why it’s funny that right wingers drag out Soros at every opportunity. In short your reply is idiotic.

The person in the article committed hate crimes. The people you knew were openly racist. What can I do with this information?

Yep. When Weiner and Franken’s sexual allegations came to light, we called them out for it and called for their resignation. And when it comes to Gaetz? Moore? Trump? Silence from the other side. Disgusting.

You’re ignorant for assuming “darker complexion” automatically means black and you’re apparently dumb as fuck too for needing someone to explain that to you. How embarrassing.
