"Riders Union" Rep: Private Buses are "Triggering"
Pundit Press ^ | 4/5/15 | Aurelius

A bus union leader is saying that she is “triggered” whenever she thinks about private buses that are becoming popular in San Francisco.

Leap, one such company, is gaining popularity in the city for their luxury buses and comfortable seating. Not all people are happy with such start-up businesses.

The San Francisco Transit Riders Union, for example, is upset at companies like Leap. SFTRU for short, the union describes itself as “A rider-based, grassroots organization working to improve transit in San Francisco.”

Ilyse Magy, a representative for the union, said that not only are private buses classist, but they are causing her emotional problems.

“I get triggered when I think about all of the people who don’t have access to Leap,” she says. People who use Leap are also “privileged,” she continues.

“Libertarian philosophy” is not what supports these private ventures. It is consumers allowed free choice in a free market to patronize these services.

A free choice in a free market is libertarian. Of course, what this crazy loon is really trying to do, is cash in on guilt. Leftists by definition can't operate in a free market; they operate thru government regulation and the attempt to "equalize" outcomes. They can't offer better service or better pricing; someone might be excluded! They're really only happy when everyone is A. miserable and B. paying attention to their diatribe of guilt.

This woman is mentally ill, and, like Mark Morford, needs Thorazine suppositories.
