This is a prime example of how Mamdani’s focus here misses the point entirely.

Very very few people‘s complaint about the bus is that it costs money. They want faster service, and more reliable service.

Believing eliminating revenue will achieve that is bad DSA thinking.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

It's interesting how "leaping bounding" doesn't have a comma separating them.

"We have credible evidence that Antifa is assembling squadrons of frog men, chicken people and other far left human-animal hybrids to encircle the Capitol, invade Washington DC and force us all to be transed, gay married or Green New Dealed. We won't stand for it."

And the hatred it engenders for anyone that doesn't have to be thinking about their big metal box is a big portion of the bicycle backlash.

“Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

It’s very sad that Gov. Stitt can say this obviously true thing but @GovBillLee wouldn’t in a million years.
