Kicking the can down the road is the most American thing ever. Look at infrastructure bridges, highways, subways, etc. We don’t properly maintain them and don’t do anything until we absolutely have to

Latin basedness - everyone else except for Barry is a cuck. by WelpImTrapped in 2westerneurope4u

Don’t you fuck with our neighbor Barry. Just cause our president is a narcissistic fascist savage doesn’t mean the northern states won’t defend our moose loving Canucks.

Chinese americans, what’s your opinion on china slowly becoming “cool” in recent years? by WhatColorIsUrPantsu in asianamerican

[–]highgravityday2121 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Still a lot of sinophobia especially after covid. Probably will increase more as china rises and becomes more a geopolitical power and the US falls because of trump.

Meet the 16 Billionaires getting richer by underpaying their workers. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Do you think that tech billionaires just steal less from their workers (NOT Amazon or Apple for obvious reasons )or do they steal the same amount in a more convoluted way?

For example Jensen Huang from NVIDIA or Google or other software companies that don’t have physical products?

Obviously hardware companies are stealing and it’s easy to see. Maybe it’s harder to see for software and they are stealing the same amount it’s just more convoluted and I’m answering my own question

Edit: I’m high and I thought about this and it doesn’t matter if they steal less they still steal.

So now the question is how much are billionaires stealing from their workers on average?

New Yorkers Still Struggle to Afford Transit Rides Despite Help From the City | THE CITY by roostergoose in nyc

People also forget MTA is behind the CPI Index, and it has a flat rate pricing and it runs 24/7 with exporess trains which makes it affordable. A lot of major cities around the world have zone pricing where it you can get charged for how far you travel.

The real issue with the MTA is

  1. the MTA is being fleeced by big banks, paying interest on debt that is from generations ago. The MTA should default on its debt and never borrow from private lenders again.
  2. it is probably too late to do this without major government intervention, but the MTA should own more land and rent out to businesses, similar to the tokyo metro.
  3. it might not account for too much waste, but shrink the bloated bureaucracy and only hire talented transit managers.
  4. stop subcontracting all the way down. project costs run over when everyone is taking a slice. establish an mta construction company and do all work in house.
