“There is nothing more arrogant than drivers stopping traffic for their customer’s convenience — the rest of the drivers be damned.”

Anti capitalist. The guy is working.

Lots of people are working. I understand that in a massively congested city like NYC situations like this are a lose-lose-lose, but ultimately stopping traffic is worse for everybody.

There's a bus line that makes a stop near a subway station on my commute -- right in front of a traffic light. Several mornings a week I find myself stuck behind a bus that is parked literally 2 feet in front of a green light. It's infuriating.

So if a private firm is hired to fix a street and they shut down a major intersection at the peak of rush hour (instead of say, midnight), that is OK b/c it is “capital at work?”

Bottom line: I, as a fellow driver, owe you/(him) nothing to make HIS capital. For all you know I am on my way to an important meeting to make MY capital.

Or you left off the (sarc) tag and all my righteous indignation is for naught. ;)
