Sorry didn’t realize I was writing an essay that would be peer reviewed 🤣🤣

And not a single additional train.

For $10 billion.

While plutocrat assmunch James Dolan pays no taxes.

They had a purpose 100 years ago. But for the last several decades, they're just an excuse for people to steal.

couldn’t care less*

Not even close IMO. Is true that there are more druggies in the East coast from DC to Boston now , specially post pandemic . But I don’t think is even close to anywhere in the west coast like LA, SF, Seattle , etc

I’ve had one or two on the actual train, and countless times on platforms underground over the years. It’s been worse lately though.

New York specifically is getting worse. Great swaths of the rest of the world have their shit together. New York is where expensive failure is applauded as if it was world-changing success.

Suuuure buddy. Keep shouting into the void!

The soft bigotry of low expectations

Ah yes, pointing out baseline political corruption is "being triggered."

The way right wing cranks will bend over backwards to excuse political corruption so long as it's on their side. While simultaneously yelling hysterically about Chirlane McCray, as if anyone on the left will disagree that she was a crook. Or that we disagree that Eric Adams is corrupt and practices crony politics.

Also, I have no idea what religion she practices but YOU sure seem triggered by people calling her out.

well it's too late to even consider that now

It’s all gross to a non smoker.

It’s so bad here. I want to be compassionate and I don’t give a shit if someone smells bad or takes up a bunch of space with all their stuff, but the open drug use really pisses me off. I swear I’ve gotten secondhand high several times and the people even freebase with kids on the train. There is no fare* enforcement in Denver though and I think that’s a huge reason for it. I had to stop riding the train cos I’m pregnant and the junkies started recognizing me at my workplace(I scream at them every time)

I also don’t give a shit

Good, keep it coming. Hopefully it drives down prices, I'm trying to buy an apartment soon.

Anyone know what’s going on in LIC near Vernon Blvd? Lot of ambulances, cops, and people.

That's encouraging at least. But how effective are said filters?

conductors don't get paid to deal with that and they're not trying to get assaulted. It's the cops job

maybe a little ammonia odor too

6 train. Happens more often now.

Man, no funny shit. A friend of mine is vacationing in Portland and she is stunned by the amount of homeless encampments on the streets and the needles everywhere. At least encampments aren't that big of an issue in NYC compared to most cities, since the subway basically acts as an encampment. Which is depressing to say, but our homeless situation actually is not that bad compared to the average city, especially considering our population.

But cigarette smoke is tar and other chemicals as opposed to the nicotine that is what you’re smoking them for

Fentanyl smoke may not have the active chemical that fucks you up in the short term but it still probably has things that’ll give you cancer if you live that long to develop it

It does look like a mall. And the no benches - very New York
