I guess if I worked in the city I may feel differently, but I use to walk to clients and well, now I’d Uber as much as possible. I haven’t been on the Subway since at least Dinkens so I guess from my standpoint, nothing has changed.

Yep, the city is returning back to the bad old days of the 1970s.

It’s a business opportunity for a re-boot of “Bum Fights”.

Someone should hand out occasional cortex shirts to the homeless. Maybe riders will begin to make the connection.

I’ve often wondered why, so many big cities with enormous problems, are strongly Democrat politically.

And it makes me wonder, is there a connection between Democrats running these places for generations, and the major problems facing those cities.

Sung to the tune of City Of New Orleans.

Riding on Bill de Blasio’s subway
No place to sit the hobos own the car
Pass the plastic bag that holds the meth
Dodge the piles of crap collecting on the floor

Simple solution. NY just passed a LAW that you can kill your baby right up until the moment of birth.

Why not FORCE the Socialists of New York riding these trains, to stick a shiv in the base of the skull, UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL, of any bum that’s bothering them?

When LIFE means NOTHING, what’s the difference? *SPIT*

City-living...ain’t it great? And to think that many of the city-dwellers look down upon “real Americans” living their lives normally.
