“... a progressive audience at Howard University”

A ‘progressive’ audience? As if there’s any other kind at Howard university? Tell us about the Conservative, Republican audiences at Howard U, please...

So I read the study, we should support free subway public transit.

Criminals quickly take over and drive away normal riders.

Maintenance gets deferred, and the system collapses.

Then we can use it for homeless shelters! ;-)

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) recently told a progressive audience at Howard University that, “Public transit should be free.”

Upon hearing this, one of the attendees at the event told Rep. Pressley that, "My elected representatives should be free."

Rep. Pressley was unavailable for comment.

By free, they mean “paid for by the collectivity.” They are never satisfied. They will continue to demand “free” things, until everything is “free.”

At that moment, the country will have become 100% communist. It’s about 30% already.

Under communism, the collectivity owns everything. There is no private property. The collectivity is the sole employer, and the owner of everything.

The dems are taking us there, a little at a time, until one day everything is “free” and we are all miserable because we have nothing. (But the ruling elite has everything it wants.)

The Oregon legislature is now pushing through a bill that would ban the police from investigating or pursing non-payment of a bus fare.
